I now have a 2 day hold on community market
I switched my phones, moved steam mobile app where I confirm market listings on to the new phone and now it seems I am stuck with 2 days forever, I moved it almost 2 days ago and it should be going off today, but it says it's going off on 28th.

I changed on 24th, and it said there will be a 2 day hold. Why isn't it gone?

Yes, that is normal. Also, pretty sure the time you see will be in Valve time, so Washington, USA. If it is not over yet, chances are you simply have not waited long enough.

Can I transfer my authenticator to my new phone?

Yes, you can.

To transfer your authenticator to a new phone, you'll need access to the phone number associated with your account (so we can send you a text message to confirm it's you).

From the Steam Mobile app on your new device, try to log into your account. When the app asks for your authenticator code, select "Please help, I no longer have access to my Mobile Authenticator codes." Follow the steps the app provides and you can either transfer your authenticator to the new device or remove it from the previous device.

After transferring the authenticator, any new trades or market listings will be held for a couple of days to protect your items in case your authenticator is ever transferred by a malicious person. See our Trade Holds FAQ for more information about trade holds.

Individual trades and market transactions are held for two days. The hold protection itself lasts for one week (168 hours) before it is removed (and trades, that are on hold at that time will still remain held).

Hey, Jerry.

Thanks, as I never really noticed that it is missing how long the protection lasts, as you said it's one week. I always just posted the 2 day hold info from transferring the mobile auth. and never really payed any attention to this missing part. Thanks for adding that.
