i'll rather have the escrow active than adding the android aplication code 4-5 times daily

There's no code. You just go into the app and hit "send offer". It doesn't open a web page like the button in the E-mail and you don't have to delete the E-mail afterwords.

i have disabled the e-mail confirmation because it was annoying...and i'm talking about the codes required to login not to trade
Comment has been collapsed.
if anyone cares:
-
enabling steam guard auth. doesn't get you a week trade banned
-
disabling it afterwards = switching in the app back to mail-confirmations, doesn't either
-
pretty much compulsory bullcrap for anyone who trades starting on 9 dec.
-
you can enable steam guard auth. and still disable trading confirmations = no need to confirm at all
(@ the cost of getting no support if you lose your items - despite using steam guard auth. - lol) ...

I definitely care about the fourth point - so if I enable the mobile auth, where would I disable the trading confirmations? Thanks.

I thought that one only regards the e-mail.s I'm going to try it out.

Ok just another post - you were right! This makes WinAuth viable and I should be able to avoid the escrow. Just gotta take my security in my own hands and accept possible consequences. Thank you very much, this whole affair was making me anxious :-)

np - same here ... annoying update, and if that saves me some confirmations i'm going to go with it, at my own precaution :D

This mobile authenticator is really annoying. Whenever I sign out it forgets my computer so I have to reverify.

Escrow = Screw you
My old Samsung 3350 RLZ!
Also this crap ruin the trade made trough site like SteamTradeMatcher, a very very helpfull site when you need to complete your trading card sets.

Steam will soon require the highest level of account security for instant trades.
This single sentence says it all...

I have a Smartphone but I don't like apps.
I only have Telegram for messaging and nothing more.
I won't download Steam crap. Sad news = (
edit: I have a smartphone because Ive got it for free. If it was not so, I would be using a dumb phone like forever with Telegram on Linux.

Next will come the telefax confirmation to make Steam really secure. For every trade or starting a game you need to fax Volvo a handwritten permit for it with your passport. Only then will we be completely safe from all harm.

I maintained a conversation with my buddy over Steam while taking a dump earlier thanks to the app.
The future is now.

Next time they will introduce a special hardware device you will need to have plugged in your pc during signing in process, they will send you Steam Guard Code and you will have 30 seconds after login attempt to enter that Steam Guard code on that special device, otherwise it will release an aggressive nerve agent after which you will fall unconscious almost instantly. If anyone trying to help you fail to give you proper antidote in 1 minute, you will die. GAME OVER.

Okay, ... so I live in a side valley to some really small town, and there's close to no cellphone coverage over here.
Consequently I only have a very old "dumb" cellphone for those few times I'm out of town. I don't even want a smartphone,
because those thingies are insecure and an invasion to my privacy.
I'm not much of a trader, but I do move a few steam cards from my trash account to my main account every now and then.
Or trade with a card bot from ym main account. So you're telling me this will be impossible soon enough?
I'm always in favor of more account security.
But ... why ... does it have to be some shitty smartphone app? Other account systems I know, just send me an automated
phone call to a wired phone number ... it works for Ebay, it works for Amazon, why can't Valve come up with something
similar ... what's the security benefit of running an app on a device that's already hijacked by Google or Apple?
Comment has been collapsed.
Because that takes effort and infrastructure. And their $730,000,000 net profit is just not enough to cover these things.

As often as the Steam servers go down, I truly feel for everyone who does a lot of trading and has to use this "innovative and time saving" app. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
I see nothing wrong with having mobile guard, or steam guard protecting users from scammers and thieves.
My account has over 500+ games on it - really could use the extra security.
And while it isn't really a time saving option, it's worth it to know that I won't wake up one day, turn my steam client on, only to see I have no access to my account.

Why has the number of games anything to do with account security? Games cannot be stolen and stolen accounts can be reacquired with all the games there.
Comment has been collapsed.
If it's one thing I've learned, is that hackers and scammers love accounts with a ton of games. It really does happen.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hackers don't give a single damn about the amount of games, they only look at your inventory. It's just that usually if somebody has thousands of dollars to blow on pointless weapon skins, they also have enough money to blow on games they never play.

the issue is not steam guard, is the steam obligatory app trade protection, email confirmation is okay and optional, steam guard is cool, steam mobile protection is too, now this obligatory app thingy is not

Anyone knows a way to make this whole retarded process through PC?

Yeap, found it myself and already using it :D
Screw you Valve!

Well this is stupid.
I don't have a smartphone, so I'm totally unable to trade? Or I'll have to wait 3 days each time even though I authenticate via email?
How annoying.

this app is very usefull...if u really care about ur account...in the same time u dont really need it...every one knows what he needs ..so i dont see the problem here
Comment has been collapsed.
yes it's very useful who need it but let's give us opt-out like mail confirmation
valve can refuse to retrieve any lost because user mistake except valve bug/exploit off course
Let user decide what they need and take the risk
Comment has been collapsed.
and the user needs to read..they did create a full security system...if they did make it easy to get a code via email..then the hacker who got ur mail will find this app like added nothing to the security..so the app will be useless...so steam gives u a spical code starts with (R) to use it in emrgency status .
Comment has been collapsed.
and that's is user problem not valve.
no need to retrieve item because user mistake
and not forcing user to enable this sh*t
just let user decide want to use it or not by provide opt-out , it simple except valve really want kill trading
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, it's very useful.
For those who can get it.
Which is not all Steam users.
