Yo, so I got new phone for christmas, and I wanted to transfer my Steam Guard thingy. Problem is, now I have 15 days blockade, I can't neither buy or sell anything, and by then my steam cards will expire. Is there any way to bypass this system, or get rid of things I have, give the cards to someone else who can use 'em, converting to gems being the least thing I want to do :P?
Cheers
*edit - Welp, I'm stupid. Since I needlessly took Your attention, have something for taking a peek.

You have a whole month before the cards expire so just wait 2 weeks and you will still have two weeks to be able to do all of this. Be patient!

A Christmas miracle, you are going to have your cards in your inventory. You better thank 🎅 for that!

There is a way to move your Steam authenticator to a new phone without getting that long trade ban. With this method you get 1 day trade ban if I remember correctly.
To do this you need to:

  1. Install Steam on your new phone.
  2. Log into the app.
  3. When it asks you for a Steam Guard code you hit "I have a problem" or something like that and then "I want to use this device".
  4. Important thing - DO NOT remove your Steam Guard on your old phone. This would get you 15 days tradeban.

From now on you should be able to have Steam Guard codes and everything on your new phone and just 1 day tradeban instead of 15.
Hope it helps you in the future!
Sadly I am not able to join the giveaway :(

Well, I disabled authenticator first, on my old phone and it's already too late I think.
You should be able now, probably one of my old blacklists I don't even remember. Might have to clean all of it one day heh

Yeah, the key for this is to NOT remove the authenticator at all. It's super bad that Steam doesn't provide any instructions on how to do that to get shorter ban... And yeah it's too late for you now, you gotta wait.
Thanks a lot! I love the way we talk about this with a hidden text hahaha
Have a nice day!
