I was told that the deauthorize options removes all devices other than the one I did the action from yet when I tried from mobile, it still logged me out on mobile but my PC stayed logged in (steam was completely closed, I was running a test, my account is not compromised I hope) is it meant to do that or is it bugged? Because I get paranoid over things due to overthinking so I deauthorized just trying to make sure no one is simultaneously in my account and like I said ran a test to see if I would get logged out on pc and nope?

It prompts you for the new login password and Steam Guard code on the Steam client, you need to restart it.

So I did it and restarted steam, let me straight into my account, idk

Maybe its something to do with IP? IF someone were to be on my account, pc or mobile, they should be logged out now?

to end this post i just want to reassure myself that nothing is wrong just like before, do i really need to be concerned about this deauthorization thing not logging me out on my pc, anyway there is nothing visually wrong but if u have an answer about it, inform me please, thanks!

Edit: if someone were actually on my account, theres no way i wouldnt notice aye?

Last time it was spoken about, it showed that deauthorizing should
log you out from all devices but the one you click that button on.

The login history could show a hint of that.
But there are people who have hijackers on their accounts for a "long" time.

In no way deauthorize should affect the device you start it on, while leaving others untouched.
It is literally the opposite of what is expected to happen.
