which Authenticator for Mac?
For Steam there is Steam desktop authenticator and WinAuth for example which I use a lot, but I need one that works on Mac. Maybe someone here knows what works on mac.

This one runs on iOS:
https://apps.apple.com/app/steam-mobile/id495369748
Do not use third party tools that run on the same system as the system you're using to trade as that defeats the very security that multi-factor authentication is supposed to provide.

again, i dont need security forced upon me, and i wont use the app since it cant automatically confirm stuff and its overall very poorly made and inconvenient. Im not 2 years old to need a cage bed, a babyphone, etc. or something of that kind, especially not online.

I for sure wont, and its pretty foolish of you to assume by default that EVERYONE that asks something on discussions is a guillible degenerate that would fall for ANY type of scam/phishing/etc. that requires 2FA to be safe, especially someone that has traded safely for years before the mobile auth existed.
You know, you might be talking to someone that is on the other side of the "food chain" alltogether and has a lot more knowledge on security measures, their effectiveness and how to bypass them than you (not talking about myself).

In fact the most common scam rn is phishing where victim enters their steam guard from the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ steam app on their real phone, and that doesnt do ♥♥♥♥, especially because of the time based authenticator, a single code can be used to generate unlimited number of codes for this same auth.

TL:DR: stop assuming incompetence/idiocy by default.

As you should also stop assuming that you are bulletproof. Even the greatest slip up from time to time, and no offense but you aren't the greatest. As stated, you shouldn't come back complaining if and when your account is compromised.
