yeah i know but if u do that
"You will not be required to confirm trades and will not receive email about trades. Steam Support will also not provide you with any assistance in recovering items that may be stolen from your account, for any reason."

Their ?
So disable it, what are you afraid of ? How many trades a day you make ? Make them all in the same time.

Knowing Valve, disabling it for one minute in 2015 means they won't help you when your account gets stolen in 2115...

Thing is, they will do the same if it's stolen day after you turned it off for one minute.

I disagree. It was faster clicking in a checkbox on the reCaptcha than having to go back and forth between my trades and my email.

I rather prefer the extra layer of account security to be honest.

I ended up disabling it because I can easily do a dozen trades an an evening and my ISP is slow as hell at processing emails. And I prefer my Steam account linked to that email address as I feel much safer having that POP3 account as security than any online service, even if they're ten times faster at receiving email messages.

But that we won't help you message definitely made me think twice.

This is really stupid - confirm trades?! It need for trade offers, but not normal trades.

Well, if you get hacked and only trade offers you send are protected, then the new trojans will simply have the other party initiate trades. So they do have to protect you in both directions.

Now, I'm not very pleased with the user-unfriendliness of this solution, but I manage. If I'm doing many trades, I line them up and confirm them all in a row.

I had that problem a few weeks ago, but after 2-3 hours everything came back to normal.
