Deauthorize all other devices does not work properly, seems like it deauthorize all devices!
After use it and relogin, Steam Guard asks code, restrict access to market, as if I logging using a new device.

Anyone else have this problem?

Steam Guard Only Recently Enabled

If you have recently enabled Steam Guard on your account, you will be unable to use the Community Market for 15 days since Steam Guard was enabled. Deauthorizing Steam Guard or disabling then enabling Steam Guard will also trigger this restriction.

I am personally not sure what you have done there, but this sounds like it could be it.

EDIT...OP has edited his or her title after my post here.

Then you simply grab the code from your email acoount and authorize your PC again. Whats the problem.

Steam Guard enabled more than a year.
I just want deauthorize other devices. https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage/
But my Steam client also deauthorized.

The page I linked says "deauthorize Steam Guard"...it does not say anything about other devices. That sounds to me like ANY deauthorizing causes your account to get the restriction. I am just saying that is how it sounds to me from the exact wording they put it in. I made it bold so to help you see my point.

Thats a securtiy measure put in place to make it harder for hackers to steal your things. It was not working before. More security is always good. If they hack your account then there is no way they can sell anything. This is a good thing.

with the new changes to steam guard-

i was saving my game in Alien Isolation when my internet went.
When i came back to steam it said i was logged in on another device which i dont ever do.

Anyways i checked all and my accounts fine.

I think it was just some kind of check error as knocked offline during save loop

I think Deauthorize all other devices, should mean Deauthorize ALL OTHER devices, excluding the device on which I currently authorized. And before that worked as it should, and now there is no.
Sorry for my English. Not my native language.

You will just have to wait till the time has passed. As far as I am concerned securtiy is good. Would you rather someone hack ( by logging on with a different computer which involves authorizing there PC ) your account and then sell all your stuff in minutes and be gone and leave you with nothing. If that function is used it should lock your trading and gifting also.

Sorry if you did not understand that would happen but it is a recent change. It was put in place to protect our inventories...

Forgive me but it seems there are two topics from what you have posted here so far...one about the Steam Guard issue, and the other about your market restriction.

I was confused at first, but it seems more like you are asking why your device that you are using was deauthorized instead of all other devices.

If that is the case, then I have to agree with Viper. All you can do is wait for the restriction time to pass. If it is a bug, then I am sorry this happened to you.

I agree that it is confusing that it seems to say that is will still leave your current device authorized but I am just explaining why the restriction is necesary if you indeed change authorizations. SInce the change is recent in the last couple of days due it the big security breach they had they most likely have not changed ther wording yet on those screens.

Sorry for your inconvenience....

@Viper

Yea, the OP also was leaning on the subject of why this was necessary so your are on topic with that one...I guess that makes 3 topics here then...LOL..Thanks for helping.

Why the issue with Steam Guard
Why the market restriction
Why is this security necessary

I have authorized computer in my house, steam guard is enabled, have no restriction.
I need to access my account for example on my friends computer, i enter login, password, guard code, now with this computer, can access to my account. But I do not want it. I come home, and from main computer want to deny access to my account for everyone else. I use the button that says "Deauthorize all other devices".
I want to deny access to other devices, and keep access for my computer, but instead happens is that I described earlier. It's wrong.
Button should be renamed to Deauthorize ALL devices.

so my steam account was always verified and green status on steam guard.

since that new request i pressed

"Deauthorize all other devices"

for safety.

I had to get code for my cpu i use regular for steam.

I did that all verified but now its still only Orange steam guard status.

Green Status is only for 2way security now? phone and email?
