So, now I can't trade for 15 days?
"You have logged in from a new device. In order to protect the items in your inventory, you will be unable to trade from this device for 15 days"

Yea, it's good that you are trying to protect my account 'n all, but there is 1 teeny problem.
I did not logged in from another device, 15 entire ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ days is pretty bad for me since I am a trader and even if I DID log in from another comp. really? 15 days? Half a month? Wasn't steam guard enough? I looked around and apparently this is a bug, is there a workaround for this bug? I was about to get 2 genuine hats and a strange battalion back up for 10 crates! If my seller changes his mind, I am blaming you valve!

Hm someone guessed your steam password and logged in?
I honestly have no idea, never experienced this bug, anyways it would be a good thing contacting Valve©

Problem with Steam Guard? Deactive it, stop flame.

Stop Flame? Sorry I don't understand your dialect.
Also, I searched around, detactivating the SG does not fix the problem.

If someone guessed my password, he would need my email to get into steam guard (I recived no mail), which is active. What nao?

I have same problem, this is because Valve is ♥♥♥♥. I don't get why they even do this ♥♥♥♥ updates. Everyone who have atleast 90 IQ will never get hijacked. Well, thank you valve for this terrible update!

What now?
- Wait untill these 15 days are over, which is the best thing to do, since I heard that the steam support is not fast aswell
- Or you contact Valve and a whole process will start which will probably take around 5 days

I'm not sure though, wait or take action.

I know that steam support takes too long, if I contact steam support I might as well wait the 15 days. But I want to know if anyone has figured a workaround for this.

That's what I thought.
Also, my e-mail hasn't sent me a "you logged in from new device, here is the activation code" so no one hacked into my account, right?

I would think so.
Any help?

Do you have any programs that clean the cookies or files on your computer? They tend to remove the files that Steam needs to recognize your computer or it will think you are using a new device.

You should be able to set the Steam directory as an exception and that may fix the issue.

I'm afraid their is no way around the 15 days. Even support will not remove it.

-.-

Updates screw me over yet again.
So no trading for 15 days.
That's a kick in the balls.
For a trader.
And someone who just lost the deal of a lifetime.
<removed>.

EDIT: W U NO CENSOR?

I already created steam support ticket, and this what they replied.

Originally posted by steam support:

If you have recently Steam Guarded a new device you will be unable to trade for 15 days. Steam Support is unable to remove this restriction.

Any previous Steam Guarded devices that have been secured for 15 days should be unaffected by this feature.

In order to avoid hitting this restriction you should avoid doing the following:

- Deleting your Steam cookies from your internet browser. For more information on how to check if your browser is automatically doing this and to disable it please visit the following article: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2324-WOKN-3636

- Disable Steam Guard on your computer

- Reinstalling Steam on your computer

Our goal is to prevent trading on your account before you are able to react if your account is hijacked or phished.

yeah I authorized new devices this morning (my notebook), but I dont know what happened, after that I cant trade from anywhere, even from my computer!

edit : oh yeah, there is some steam update when I want to logged from my computer.
