I dont know how to make it so steam sends the code to log in by email. Right now I have to go on to my phone to get the code, but i just want it to send the code by email only when i sign into a new computer.

If you only want email verification then you have to disable using the mobile app for authorization.

I have the same problem, I'll tried changing it on settings but whenever I click "Get Steam Guard Codes by Email" It's asking me to Remove Authenticator, do you know how to fix this? I'm using bluestack btw.

You either use the authenticator... or get codes by email. You can't do both.

You have to remove the authenticator. The only way to do that is to enter your recovery code. If you didn't write down your recovery code, then you will need to contact Steam Support.

If you still have the code, go here to remove the authenticator.

I remove the authenticator and it changes the settings to "Get Steam Guard code by email" but whenever I login It didn't ask me to put steam guard code, I don't receive any email either.

Here is some information on E-Mail Verifications.

It won't ask you for the email code on a recognized computer. You can (via settings) remove all recognised computers and it will ask you for the code if you really want to refresh it all.

The authenticator is the only one that requires the code on the computer recognised or not, unless you are remembering credentials on there.

It has stated that new players need to enable my steam guard for 30 days if I want to trade with someone. And I have already enable it for 30 days, now if I disable this again, can I still do trade with others?

No. Without Steam Guard you can not trade.

Why do you want to disable Steam guard in the first place?
