Any alternatives to idle master?

Closed

Idle Master is requiring me to login with steam mobile authenticator like every hour, is there an alternative which keeps logged in for a longer time or any fix for this?

I recommend Steam Game Idler, it has a trading card manager, achievement manager, and game idler (playtime booster) all built in to a single app - https://github.com/zevnda/steam-game-idler

ASF linked above by Ales in fact requires putting 2FA token only once.

Logging out happens if you login into Steam from a different source, or if your internet connection drops.
What I noticed is that if I keep my pc with idlemaster running when Im at work, and then login to Steam on my works pc or phone idlemaster stops working. Or if Im on my laptop and wifi has an interruption the same happens.
At least thats my explanation.

Because idle master can't refresh it's sessionID on it's own, ASF is handling that automatically, together with million of other steam fuckups. You can have only one valid steam sessionID active at given time.

It's way better than idle master, and you can let your alt accounts work aswell!

Well, I have ASF running at home on my laptop at home atm.
And Ive been logging into steam at work and on my phone. Drops keep coming, so Im happy.
It doesnt look as fancy as IM but it does its job better.
