Winauth AND SDA broke and i can no longer confirm stuff

[Zorro]

Thanks valve, the UI everyone asked for is so worth not being able to use the market days away from the sale, awesome.

Edit: Okay so the Winauth fork works just fine and SDA already got patched by Jesse so we're all good now

Edit 21/10/2023: SDA and winauth broke again

Edit 22/10/2023: Nope, SDA.1.0.13 still works

Why should Valve take any care for unauthorized third party tools that actively sabotage account security?

Not unauthorized, these apps interact with open APIs. Valve creates APIs for these tools to work, IE they actively encourage third parties to make tools that interact with Steam.

I'm glad that Valve do this, it leads to interesting and innovative software scenarios like the awesome Steam Library Filters: https://www.lorenzostanco.com/lab/steam/u/

winauth die forever?

[Harest]

This page[github.com] will allow to follow if anyone will fix WinAuth with the latest changes.

I don't even know, did anyone check if the Steam app works on BlueStacks or any other android emulator? If emulators are not blocked there, that's also a way to do it. Else, we may need to start contacting the support because that's an issue they need to fix.

I'm currently using old SDA (V1.0.11) from github for login tokens and Archi's Steam Farm for everything else including authenticating trades.

Another tool that currently works is steamguard-cli, however it only works on Linux:
https://github.com/dyc3/steamguard-cli

You could probably use WSL to use it on Windows, I never tried that personally.

No idea what WinAuth or SDA are, but the horrible new UI is definitely not what I asked for.

[Harest]

Just a little update there. If you were using WinAuth to trade cards for instance, and you don't have or want a ♥♥♥♥-phone, a good alternative would probably be to use ArchiSteamFarm[github.com] (ASF).
The important parameters for the bot to setup being (from the configuration wiki[github.com]):

  "FarmPriorityQueueOnly": true,
  "Paused": true,
  "TradingPreferences": 2

Technically, either one of FarmPriorityQueueOnly or Paused set to true is necessary to prevent it from farming the cards (initial purpose of ASF). And TradingPreferences is set to 2 aka "SteamTradeMatcher" setting. Be sure to check the configuration wiki for more details and set your bot the way you want. This setting basically automatically confirm "neutral or good" trades with trading cards on the same game.
Note that it'll not automatically confirm pending trades you sent yourself. Maybe there's a parameter for it, personally i just type c to open the command prompt and type !2faok. This command accepts all pending 2FA confirmations.
Hope it helps. For now Valve doesn't allow any trades without the holding period if you don't own a ♥♥♥♥-phone. The last alternative being to use an android emulator like Bluestacks, but they may start to block it at some point too.
