Problem with Steam Desktop Authenticator

Closed
eeev

Hi folks,

I've been having this issue with the Steam Desktop Authenticator: I can't confirm trades any longer. This is the error message I get:

Failed to load confirmations.
Try using "Force session refresh" under the Selected Account menu.
If that doesn't work use the "Login again" option.

Of course I did all this. Nothing worked. I thought it might have been my computer, and since I was about to get a new one, I didn't worry all that much. Now I am using a new one and the issue remains. I even used an older version of the maFiles to import, but the issue still pertains. I couldn't find anything on the app's forum about this, so I thought maybe one of you cracks got an idea :)

Please help! Thanks!

I downloaded it from the official Github page and used it for years without any problems :(

Did you change the configuration of your firewall/router?

If nothing else works, disconnect the authenticator from your Steam account and connect it again. Probably will lead to a 7 days lock to trades.

I would have preferred to avoid such a lock.
