I honestly couldn't tell you, but I know when it comes to their Privacy Policy and other data, Steam is Airtight.

I suggest you go use the Steam Support button under the Help tab at the top of the screen, then go My Account, then Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator, then select "My Issue isn't listed" then type your question in there.

I have found Steam to be very helpful and forthright when it comes to questions about security and privacy.

Yes. Because you can use your Secret Share to get the authentication, but if you disable it and activate it on something else, that code will no longer be valid to login.

This means it does in fact change.
