Please add Scan QR code login function for Steam

[zyhkz]

Please add Scan QR code login for steam.
Users can use the mobile app to scan the QR code provide by the PC app login page to login.
And when user use the QR code to login, the login info and username/password should not be saved in the PC.

Why?
I am a moderator of a Steam forum. Many new players are complaining their account are stolen by the Internet cafe and hackers.
Steam saved their login info and username/password in the PC and the hacker use it to stolen their accounts.
They have to go to the Internet cafe because they are students who do not have their own PC.

Please add Scan QR code login function for Steam, so that they can protect their accounts.

And the feature will greatly reduce the workload of steam customer tickets!!!!!

Use 1 Dollar to sign in via QR code; that does not say anything beyond literally being given a phone app; charging you a dollar EACH TIME you log in with it and you'll be given the QR code to log on

If anything they added basically QR Pay to Log-on bro

It isn't charging you $1 for using the QR code. What are you smoking?

Its literally in the code I put down and quote ""Use the %1$s to sign in via QR code","Login_UseAppForQR_Inner":"Steam Mobile App","Login_GetMobileApp_Link":"Get the mobile app","Login_CheckCredentials":"Please check your password and account name and try"

Look 1 line above that and you might understand there is not going to be a charge for QR codes.

Bro the guy literally linked the code for the program itself; i'm not sure how you can claim there wont be a charge when that is literally from the code itself of Valve

I really want to know what you have been smoking.
Go ahead and control + f and search for %1$s and tell me what you see.

It's a preformatted message. The %1$s is a placeholder. %1 refers to the first parameter given with the message, $s means the parameter is to be formatted as string datatype.

They really need to change the fake email so it does not look like the default code for charging money then; at the same time the fact the news is from SteamDB I would not ever take seriously

Same thing as this.

You really shouldn't scream about code if you don't know what the text involved actually means because someone like cinedine above is gonna come in and then things get ugly for you.

And here's the thing.

Just because some one throw such responses to you, it does NOT mean you get to throw the same rude shade back.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

As other people mentioned, "%1$s" is a placeholder which is replaced before actually being displayed to the user. In this case, the most likely thing they'd replace it with is the next localisation string, "Steam Mobile App". So what the user would see is: "Use the Steam Mobile App to sign in via QR code".

Usually they use this sort of placeholder when the thing that needs to be pasted in is the name of a game, or one of your friend's names, something like that. For example, maybe a string like:

"Sale_BundleSave_WithDiscount": "Buy this bundle to save %1$s% off all %2$s items!"

In this case, maybe they would paste in "75" to replace %1$s and "10" to replace %2$s, which would give:

"Buy this bundle to save 75% off all 10 items!"

In any case, even if we ignore the % sign, "Use the 1$ to sign in via QR code" isn't really what you'd expect to see in North American English. If you wanted to say that it would cost money to sign in with a QR code, you wouldn't put "the" in front of the amount of money, and you'd have the dollar sign as a prefix, not a suffix. Also you'd use the verb "pay" rather than "use".

The placeholders are never user-visible, they're all replaced before users see them. SteamDB aren't fabricating anything here, they're just looking at the same primary sources, which do show fairly clearly that Valve are working on a QR code login system. Not everything Valve works on actually makes it to release, so this may still not ship, though.

QR-Login as far as I know already is inside of some early alpha-ish build of the mobile client that will be delivered with SteamDeck. So yeah while you are right about Valve decided on the doorstep to turn around it is very certain that this feature will ship pretty soon.
