Steam Confirmation

[Housri]

Why not have a confirmation when buying games and in-game items from steam market or from in-game
To prevent bots and scammers
It will be optional and to disable it you need to do a 1 time confirmation with your steam Mobile
Also the confirmation for buying will be like the confirmation for listening in the steam market

It will help u stop api scammers when they access your steam account with an ip similar to yours since they xan get your internet ip and they will not be restricted to your funds

Problem is, they'll always find a way regardless. You can never have Order without some Chaos. In a perfect world sure, your idea is great and will work 100% of the time. But this isn't a perfect world.

i know but if u have funds in your steam wallet its gg since they can just gift them self a game and play it for 2 hours and u cant refund it or they buy items to there account and u cant do anything since api scam does not require you to enter your steam guard code every time

If you don't use your Steam Login outside of Steam, and you don't otherwise hand someone your login recklessly; you have nothing to worry about.

You can refund a game if you pass the 2 hour limit. I've done it a couple times, and gave Steam a legitimate and convincing reason, and they refunded in full. One game I refunded had 5 hours in it.

IP has no relevance to Steam account account security

Yes so add MORE security for everyone to deal with because a few can't keep their usernames, passwords and guard code secure. Thanks but I'm gonna give this a big NO! I don't want nor need more security features

You shouldn't need to reset it period. If something is there every week you have serious account security issues/
