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?

1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
3. Change passwords from a clean computer
4. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
5. Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey (there should be nothing in the APIKEY)

This procedure is used if an account is compromised, for example if you have logged in on third-party sites.
NEVER share any of your login information with anyone (NOTHING) and remember that no Valve employee or moderator will ever ask you for anything, either here or out.
And remember, I want to remind you, no Valve employees or moderators operate on Discord.
Discord has nothing to do with Steam, anyone who tells you it's a moderator by showing you fake profiles is a scammer.

If you have followed the procedure and changed your password, restart Steam.

If you've been following it all, you don't have to do anything else.
