2-FACTOR AUTHENTICASHUN

STEAM INCLUDEZ 2-FACTOR AUTHENTICASHUN SISTEM KNOWN AS "ESCROW" DAT REQUIREZ EXTRA DETAILS 4 VARIOUS AKOWNT-RELATD ACTIVITY. U CAN READ MOAR BOUT IT HER AN HER. DIS PAEG CONSIDERS DAT 2FA SISTEM AS WELL AS R SOLUSHUN DAT INTEGRATEZ WIF IT, CALLD ASF 2FA.

ASF LOGIC

REGARDLES IF U USE ASF 2FA OR NOT, ASF INCLUDEZ PROPR LOGIC AN IZ FULLY AWARE OV ACCOUNTS PROTECTD BY STANDARD 2FA. IT WILL ASK U 4 REQUIRD DETAILS WHEN THEYRE NEEDD (SUCH AS DURIN LOGGIN IN). HOWEVR, DOSE REQUESTS CAN BE AUTOMATD BY USIN ASF 2FA, WHICH WILL AUTOMATICALLY GENERATE REQUIRD TOKENS, SAVIN U HASLE AN ENABLIN EXTRA FUNCSHUNALITY (DESCRIBD BELOW).

ASF 2FA

ASF 2FA IZ BUILT-IN MODULE RESPONSIBLE 4 PROVIDIN 2FA FEATUREZ 2 TEH ASF PROCES, SUCH AS GENERATIN TOKENS AN ACCEPTIN CONFIRMASHUNS. IT WERKZ BY DUPLICATIN UR EXISTIN AUTHENTICATOR DETAILS, SO DAT U CAN USE UR CURRENT AUTHENTICATOR AN ASF 2FA AT TEH SAME TIEM.

U CAN VERIFY WHETHR UR BOT AKOWNT IZ USIN ASF 2FA ALREADY BY EXECUTIN 2fa COMMANDZ. UNLES UVE ALREADY IMPORTD UR AUTHENTICATOR AS ASF 2FA, ALL STANDARD 2fa COMMANDZ WILL BE NON-OPERATIV, WHICH MEANZ DAT UR AKOWNT IZ NOT USIN ASF 2FA, THEREFORE IZ ALSO UNAVAILABLE 4 ADVANCD ASF FEATUREZ DAT REQUIRE TEH MODULE 2 BE OPERATIV.

RECOMMENDASHUNS

THAR R LOT OV WAYS 2 MAK ASF 2FA OPERATIV, HER WE INCLUDE R RECOMMENDASHUNS BASD ON UR CURRENT SITUASHUN:

IF URE ALREADY USIN SteamDesktopAuthenticator, WinAuth OR ANY OTHR THIRD-PARTY APP DAT ALLOWS U 2 EXTRACT 2FA DETAILS WIF EASE, JUS IMPORT DOSE 2 ASF.
IF URE USIN OFFISHUL APP AN U DOAN MIND RESETTIN UR 2FA CREDENTIALS, TEH BEST WAI IZ 2 DISABLE 2FA, DEN CREATE NEW 2FA CREDENTIALS BY USIN JOINT AUTHENTICATOR, WHICH WILL ALLOW U 2 USE OFFISHUL APP AN ASF 2FA. DIS METHOD DOESNT REQUIRE ROOT OR ADVANCD KNOWLEDGE, BARELY FOLLOWIN INSTRUCSHUNS.
IF URE USIN OFFISHUL APP AN DOAN WANTS 2 RECREATE UR 2FA CREDENTIALS, UR OPSHUNS R VRY LIMITD, TYPICALLY ULL NED ROOT AN EXTRA FIDDLIN AROUND 2 IMPORT DOSE DETAILS, AN EVEN WID DAT IT MITE BE IMPOSIBLE.
IF URE NOT USIN 2FA YET AN DOAN CARE, U CAN USE ASF 2FA WIF STANDALONE AUTHENTICATOR, THIRD-PARTY APP DUPLICATIN 2 ASF (RECOMMENDASHUN #1), OR JOINT AUTHENTICATOR WIF OFFISHUL APP (RECOMMENDASHUN #2).

BELOW WE DISCUS ALL POSIBLE OPSHUNS AN KNOWN 2 US METHODZ.

CREASHUN

IN GENERAL, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND DUPLICATIN UR EXISTIN AUTHENTICATOR, SINCE THAZ TEH MAIN PURPOSE ASF 2FA WUZ DESIGND 4. HOWEVR, ASF COMEZ WIF AN OFFISHUL MobileAuthenticator PLUGIN DAT FURTHR EXTENDZ ASF 2FA, ALLOWIN U 2 LINK COMPLETELY NEW AUTHENTICATOR AS WELL. DIS CAN BE USEFUL IN CASE URE UNABLE OR UNWILLIN 2 USE OTHR TOOLS AN DO NOT MIND ASF 2FA BECOMIN UR MAIN (AN MAYBE ONLY) AUTHENTICATOR.

THAR R 2 POSIBLE SCENARIOS 4 ADDIN 2-FACTOR AUTHENTICATOR WIF TEH MobileAuthenticator PLUGIN: STANDALONE OR JOINT WIF TEH OFFISHUL STEAM MOBILE APP. IN DA SECOND SCENARIO, U WILL END UP WIF TEH SAME AUTHENTICATOR ON BOTH TEH ASF AN MOBILE APP; BOTH WILL GENERATE TEH SAME CODEZ, AN BOTH WILL BE ABLE 2 CONFIRM TRADE OFFERS, STEAM COMMUNITY MARKIT TRANZACSHUNS, ETC.

COMMON STEPS 4 BOTH SCENARIOS

NO MATTR IF U PLAN 2 USE ASF AS TEH STANDALONE AUTHENTICATOR OR WANTS TEH SAME AUTHENTICATOR ON TEH OFFISHUL STEAM MOBILE APP, U NED 2 DO DOSE INITIALIZASHUN STEPS:

CREATE AN ASF BOT 4 DA TARGET AKOWNT, START IT, AN LOG IN, WHICH U PROBABLY ALREADY DID.
OPSHUNALLY, ASSIGN WERKIN AN OPERASHUNAL FONE NUMBR 2 TEH AKOWNT HER 2 BE USD BY TEH BOT. DIS WILL ALLOW U 2 RECEIV SMS CODE AN ALLOW RECOVERY IF NEEDD, BUT IZ NOT MANDATORY.
ENSURE URE NOT USIN 2FA YET 4 UR AKOWNT, IF U DO, DISABLE IT FURST.
EXECUTE TEH 2fainit [Bot] COMMAND, REPLACIN [Bot] WIF UR BOTS NAYM.

ASSUMIN U GOT SUCCESFUL REPLY, TEH FOLLOWIN 2 THINGS HAS HAPPEND:

A NEW <Bot>.maFile.PENDING FILE WUZ GENERATD BY ASF IN UR config DIRECTORY.
SMS WUZ SENT FRUM STEAM 2 TEH FONE NUMBR U HAS ASSIGND 4 DA AKOWNT ABOOV. IF U DIDNT SET FONE NUMBR, DEN AN EMAIL WUZ SENT INSTEAD 2 TEH AKOWNT E-MAIL ADDRES.

TEH AUTHENTICATOR DETAILS R NOT OPERASHUNAL YET, HOWEVR, U CAN REVIEW TEH GENERATD FILE IF UD LIEK 2. IF U WANTS 2 BE DOUBLE SAFE, U CAN, 4 EXAMPLE, ALREADY RITE DOWN TEH REVOCASHUN CODE. TEH NEXT STEPS WILL DEPEND ON UR SELECTD SCENARIO.

STANDALONE AUTHENTICATOR

IF U WANTS 2 USE ASF AS UR MAIN (OR EVEN ONLY) AUTHENTICATOR, NAO U NED 2 DO TEH FINALIZASHUN STEP:

EXECUTE TEH 2fafinalize [Bot] <ActivationCode> COMMAND, REPLACIN [Bot] WIF UR BOTS NAYM AN <ActivationCode> WIF TEH CODE UVE RECEIVD THRU SMS RO MALI IN DA PREVIOUS STEP.

JOINT AUTHENTICATOR

IF U WANTS 2 HAS TEH SAME AUTHENTICATOR IN BOTH ASF AN TEH OFFISHUL STEAM MOBILE APP, NAO U NED 2 DO TEH NEXT STEPS:

IGNORE TEH SMS OR E-MAIL CODE DAT UVE RECEIVD AFTR TEH PREVIOUS STEP.
INSTALL TEH STEAM MOBILE APP IF IZ NOT INSTALLD YET, AN OPEN IT. NAVIGATE 2 TEH STEAM GUARD TAB AN ADD NEW AUTHENTICATOR BY FOLLOWIN TEH APPS INSTRUCSHUNS.
AFTR UR AUTHENTICATOR IN DA MOBILE APP IZ ADDD AN WERKIN, RETURN 2 ASF. U NAO NED 2 TELL ASF DAT FINALIZASHUN IZ DUN WIF TEH HALP OV WAN OV TEH 2 COMMANDZ BELOW:

WAIT TIL TEH NEXT 2FA CODE IZ SHOWN IN DA STEAM MOBILE APP, AN USE TEH COMMAND 2fafinalized [Bot] <2fa_code_from_app> REPLACIN [Bot] WIF UR BOTS NAYM AN <2fa_code_from_app> WIF TEH CODE U CURRENTLY C IN DA STEAM MOBILE APP. IF TEH CODE GENERATD BY ASF AN TEH CODE U PROVIDD R TEH SAME, ASF ASSUMEZ DAT AN AUTHENTICATOR WUZ ADDD RITE AN PROCEEDZ WIF IMPORTIN UR NEWLY CREATD AUTHENTICATOR.
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND 2 DO TEH ABOOV IN ORDR 2 ENSURE DAT UR CREDENTIALS R VALID. HOWEVR, IF U DOAN WANTS 2 (OR CANT) CHECK IF CODEZ R TEH SAME AN U KNOE WUT URE DOIN, U CAN INSTEAD USE TEH COMMAND 2fafinalizedforce [Bot], REPLACIN [Bot] WIF UR BOTS NAYM. ASF WILL ASSUME DAT TEH AUTHENTICATOR WUZ ADDD RITE AN PROCED WIF IMPORTIN UR NEWLY CREATD AUTHENTICATOR.

AFTR FINALIZASHUN

ASSUMIN EVRYTHIN WERKD PROPERLY, TEH PREVIOUSLY GENERATD <Bot>.maFile.PENDING FILE WUZ RENAMD 2 <Bot>.maFile.NEW. DIS INDICATEZ DAT UR 2FA CREDENTIALS R NAO VALID AN ACTIV. WE RECOMMEND DAT U CREATE COPY OV DAT FILE AN KEEP IT IN A SECURE AN SAFE LOCASHUN. IN ADDISHUN 2 DAT, WE RECOMMEND U OPEN TEH FILE IN UR EDITOR OV CHOICE AN RITE DOWN TEH revocation_code, WHICH WILL ALLOW U 2, AS TEH NAYM IMPLIEZ, REVOKE TEH AUTHENTICATOR IN CASE U LOSE IT.

IN REGARD 2 TECHNICAL DETAILS, TEH GENERATD maFile INCLUDEZ ALL DETAILS DAT WE HAS RECEIVD FRUM TEH STEAM SERVR DURIN LINKIN TEH AUTHENTICATOR, AN IN ADDISHUN 2 DAT, TEH device_id FIELD, WHICH CUD BE NEEDD 4 OTHR AUTHENTICATORS. TEH FILE IZ FULLY COMPATIBLE WIF SDA 4 IMPORT.

ASF AUTOMATICALLY IMPORTS UR AUTHENTICATOR ONCE TEH PROCEDURE IZ DUN, AN THEREFORE 2fa AN OTHR RELATD COMMANDZ SHUD NAO BE OPERASHUNAL 4 DA BOT AKOWNT U LINKD TEH AUTHENTICATOR 2.

IMPORT

IMPORT PROCES REQUIREZ ALREADY LINKD AN OPERASHUNAL AUTHENTICATOR DAT IZ SUPPORTD BY ASF. ASF CURRENTLY SUPPORTS FEW DIFFERENT OFFISHUL AN UNOFFISHUL SOURCEZ OV 2FA - ANDROID, IOS, SteamDesktopAuthenticator AN WinAuth, ON TOP OV MANUAL METHOD WHICH ALLOWS U 2 PROVIDE REQUIRD CREDENTIALS YOURSELF. IF U DOAN HAS ANY AUTHENTICATOR YET, U NED 2 CHOOSE WAN OV AVAILABLE APPS AN SET IT UP FIRSTLY. IF U DOAN KNOE BETTR WHICH WAN 2 PICK, WE RECOMMEND WinAuth, BUT ANY OV TEH ABOOV WILL WERK FINE ASSUMIN U FOLLOW TEH INSTRUCSHUNS.

ALL FOLLOWIN GUIDEZ REQUIRE FRUM U 2 ALREADY HAS WERKIN AN OPERASHUNAL AUTHENTICATOR BEAN USD WIF GIVEN TOOL/APPLICASHUN. ASF 2FA WILL NOT OPERATE PROPERLY IF U IMPORT INVALID DATA, THEREFORE MAK SURE DAT UR AUTHENTICATOR WERKZ PROPERLY BEFORE ATTEMPTIN 2 IMPORT IT. DIS DOEZ INCLUDE TESTIN AN VERIFYIN DAT FOLLOWIN AUTHENTICATOR FUNCSHUNS WERK PROPERLY:

U CAN GENERATE TOKENS AN DOSE TOKENS R ACCEPTD BY STEAM NETWORK
U CAN FETCH CONFIRMASHUNS, AN THEY R ARRIVIN ON UR MOBILE AUTHENTICATOR
U CAN ACCEPT DOSE CONFIRMASHUNS, AN THEYRE PROPERLY RECOGNIZD BY STEAM NETWORK AS CONFIRMD/REJECTD

ENSURE DAT UR AUTHENTICATOR WERKZ BY CHECKIN IF ABOOV ACSHUNS WERK - IF THEY DOAN, DEN THEY WONT WERK IN ASF EITHR, ULL ONLY WASTE TIEM AN CAUSE YOURSELF ADDISHUNAL TROUBLE.

ANDROID FONE

TEH BELOW INSTRUCSHUNS APPLY 2 STEAM APP IN VERSHUN 2.X, THAR R CURRENTLY LIMITD RESOURCEZ ON EXTRACTIN REQUIRD DETAILS FRUM VERSHUN 3.0 ONWARDZ. WELL UPDATE DIS SECSHUN ONCE GENERALLY-AVAILABLE METHOD IZ FINDZ. AS OV TODAI, WERKAROUND WUD BE 2 INTENSHUNALLY INSTALL OLDR VERSHUN OV STEAM APP, REGISTR 2FA AN EXTRACT TEH REQUIRD DETAILS FURST, AFTR WHICH IZ POSIBLE 2 UPDATE TEH APPLICASHUN 2 LATEST VERSHUN - EXISTIN AUTHENTICATOR WILL CONTINUE 2 WERK.

IN GENERAL 4 IMPORTIN AUTHENTICATOR FRUM UR ANDROID FONE U WILL NED ROOT ACCES. ROOTIN VARIEZ FRUM DEVICE 2 DEVICE, SO I WONT TELL U HOW 2 ROOT UR DEVICE. Visit XDA for excellent guides on how to do that, as well as general information on rooting in general. IF U CANT FIND UR DEVICE OR TEH GUIDE DAT U NED, TRY 2 FIND IT ON GOOGLE SECOND.

AT LEAST OFFICIALLY, IZ NOT POSIBLE 2 ACCES PROTECTD STEAM FILEZ WITHOUT ROOT. TEH ONLY OFFISHUL NON-ROOT METHOD 4 EXTRACTIN STEAM FILEZ IZ CREATIN UNENCRYPTD /data BAKUP IN WAN WAI OR ANOTHR AN MANUALLY FETCHIN APPROPRIATE FILEZ FRUM IT ON UR PC, HOWEVR CUZ SUCH TING HIGHLY DEPENDZ ON UR FONE MANUFACTURR AN IZ NOT IN ANDROID STANDARD, WE WONT DISCUS IT HER. IF URE LUCKY 2 HAS SUCH FUNCSHUNALITY, U CAN MAK USE OV IT, BUT MAJORITY OV USERS DOAN HAS ANYTHIN LIEK DAT.

UNOFFICIALLY, IT POSIBLE 2 EXTRACT TEH NEEDD FILEZ WITHOUT ROOT ACCES, BY INSTALLIN OR DOWNGRADIN UR STEAM APP 2 VERSHUN 2.1 (OR EARLIR), SETTIN UP MOBILE AUTHENTICATOR AN DEN CREATIN SNAPSHOT OV TEH APP (TOGETHR WIF TEH data FILEZ DAT WE NED) THRU adb backup. HOWEVR, SINCE IT BE SERIOUS SECURITY BREACH AN ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTD WAI 2 EXTRACT TEH FILEZ, WE WONT ELABORATE FURTHR ON DIS, VALVE DISABLD DIS SECURITY HOLE IN NEWR VERSHUNS 4 REASON, AN WE ONLY MENSHUN IT AS POSIBILITY. STILL, IT MITE BE POSIBLE 2 DO CLEAN INSTALL OV DAT VERSHUN, LINK NEW AUTHENTICATOR, EXTRACT TEH REQUIRD FILEZ, AN DEN UPGRADE TEH APP, WHICH SHUD BE JUS ENOUGH, BUT URE ON UR OWN WIF DIS METHOD ANYWAY.

ASSUMIN DAT UVE SUCCESFULLY ROOTD UR FONE, U SHUD AFTERWARDZ DOWNLOAD ANY ROOT EXPLORR AVAILABLE ON TEH MARKIT, SUCH AS DIS WAN (OR ANY OTHR WAN OV UR PREFERENCE). U CAN ALSO ACCES TEH PROTECTD FILEZ THRU ADB (ANDROID DEBUG BRIDGE) OR ANY OTHR AVAILABLE 2 U METHOD, WELL DO IT THRU TEH EXPLORR SINCE IZ DEFINITELY TEH MOST USR-FRIENDLY WAI.

ONCE U OPEND UR ROOT EXPLORR, NAVIGATE 2 /data/data FOLDR. KEEP IN MIND DAT /data/data DIRECTORY IZ PROTECTD AN U WONT BE ABLE 2 ACCES IT WITHOUT ROOT ACCES. ONCE THAR, FIND com.valvesoftware.android.steam.community FOLDR AN COPY IT 2 UR /sdcard, WHICH POINTS 2 UR BUILT-IN INTERNAL STORAGE. AFTERWARDZ, U SHUD BE ABLE 2 PLUG UR FONE 2 UR PC AN COPY TEH FOLDR FRUM UR INTERNAL STORAGE LIEK USUAL. IF BY ANY CHANCE TEH FOLDR WONT BE VISIBLE DESPITE U BEAN SURE DAT U COPID IT 2 TEH RITE PLACE, TRY RESTARTIN UR FONE FURST.

NAO, U CAN CHOOSE IF U WANTS 2 IMPORT UR AUTHENTICATOR 2 WinAuth FURST, DEN 2 ASF, OR 2 ASF RITE AWAY. FURST OPSHUN IZ MOAR FRIENDLY AN ALLOWS U 2 DUPLICATE UR AUTHENTICATOR ALSO ON UR PC, ALLOWIN U 2 MAK CONFIRMASHUNS AN GENERATE TOKENS FRUM 3 DIFFERENT PLACEZ - UR FONE, UR PC AN ASF. IF U WANTS 2 DO DAT, SIMPLY OPEN WinAuth, ADD NEW STEAM AUTHENTICATOR AN CHOOSE IMPORTIN FRUM ANDROID OPSHUN, DEN FOLLOW INSTRUCSHUNS BY ACCESIN TEH FILEZ DAT UVE OBTAIND ABOOV. WHEN DUN, U CAN DEN IMPORT DIS AUTHENTICATOR FRUM WINAUTH 2 ASF, WHICH IZ EXPLAIND IN DEDICATD WINAUTH SECSHUN BELOW.

IF U DOAN WANTS 2 OR DOAN NED 2 GO THRU WinAuth, DEN SIMPLY COPY files/Steamguard-<SteamID> FILE FRUM R PROTECTD DIRECTORY, WER SteamID IZ UR 64-BIT STEAM IDENTIFICATOR OV TEH AKOWNT DAT U WANTS 2 ADD (IF MOAR THAN WAN, CUZ IF U HAS ONLY WAN AKOWNT DEN DIS WILL BE TEH ONLY FILE). U NED 2 PLACE DAT FILE IN ASFS config DIRECTORY. ONCE U DO DAT, RENAME TEH FILE 2 BotName.maFile, WER BotName IZ TEH NAYM OV UR BOT URE ADDIN ASF 2FA 2. AFTR DIS STEP, LAUNCH ASF - IT SHUD NOTICE TEH .maFile AN IMPORT IT.

[*] INFO: ImportAuthenticator() <1> Converting .maFile into ASF format...
[*] INFO: ImportAuthenticator() <1> Successfully finished importing mobile authenticator!

THAZ ALL, ASSUMIN DAT UVE IMPORTD TEH CORRECT FILE WIF VALID SECRETS, EVRYTHIN SHUD WERK PROPERLY, WHICH U CAN VERIFY BY USIN 2fa COMMANDZ. IF U MADE MISTAEK, U CAN ALWAYS REMOOV Bot.db AN START OVAR IF NEEDD.

IOS

4 IOS U CAN USE IOS-STEAMGUARD-EXTRACTOR. DIS AR TEH POSIBLE THX 2 TEH FACT DAT U CAN MAK DECRYPTD BAKUP, PUT IN ON UR PC AN USE TEH TOOL IN ORDR 2 EXTRACT STEAM DATA DAT IZ OTHERWIZE IMPOSIBLE 2 GIT (AT LEAST WITHOUT JAILBREAK, DUE 2 IOS ENCRYPSHUN).

HEAD OVAR 2 LATEST RELEASE IN ORDR 2 DOWNLOAD TEH PROGRAM. ONCE U EXTRACT TEH DATA U CAN PUT IT E.G. IN WINAUTH, DEN FRUM WINAUTH 2 ASF (ALTHOUGH U CAN ALSO SIMPLY COPY GENERATD JSON STARTIN FRUM { ENDIN ON } INTO BotName.maFile AN PROCED LIEK USUAL). IF U ASK ME, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND 2 IMPORT 2 WINAUTH FURST, DEN MAKIN SURE DAT BOTH GENERATIN TOKENS AS WELL AS ACCEPTIN CONFIRMASHUNS WERK PROPERLY, SO U CAN BE SURE DAT EVRYTHIN IZ ALRIGHT. IF UR CREDENTIALS R INVALID, ASF 2FA WILL NOT WERK PROPERLY, SO IZ MUTCH BETTR 2 MAK ASF IMPORT STEP UR LAST WAN.

4 QUESHUNS/ISSUEZ, PLZ VISIT ISSUEZ.

KEEP IN MIND DAT ABOOV TOOL IZ UNOFFISHUL, URE USIN IT AT UR OWN RISK. WE DO NOT OFFR TECHNICAL SUPPORT IF IT DOESNT WERK PROPERLY - WE GOT FEW SIGNALS DAT IZ EXPORTIN INVALID 2FA CREDENTIALS - VERIFY DAT CONFIRMASHUNS WERK IN AUTHENTICATOR LIEK WINAUTH PRIOR 2 IMPORTIN DAT DATA 2 ASF!

SteamDesktopAuthenticator

IF U HAS UR AUTHENTICATOR RUNNIN IN SDA ALREADY, U SHUD NOTICE DAT THAR IZ steamID.maFile FILE AVAILABLE IN maFiles FOLDR. MAK SURE DAT maFile IZ IN UNENCRYPTD FORM, AS ASF CANT DECRYPT SDA FILEZ - UNENCRYPTD FILE CONTENT SHUD START WIF { AN END WIF } CHARACTR. IF NEEDD, U CAN REMOOV TEH ENCRYPSHUN FRUM SDA SETTINGS FURST, AN ENABLE IT AGAIN WHEN URE DUN. ONCE TEH FILE IZ IN UNENCRYPTD FORM, COPY IT 2 config DIRECTORY OV ASF.

U CAN NAO RENAME steamID.maFile 2 BotName.maFile IN ASF CONFIG DIRECTORY, WER BotName IZ TEH NAYM OV UR BOT URE ADDIN ASF 2FA 2. ALTERNATIVELY U CAN LEEF IT AS IT IZ, ASF WILL DEN PICK IT AUTOMATICALLY AFTR LOGGIN IN. RENAMIN TEH FILE HELPS ASF BY MAKIN IT POSIBLE 2 USE ASF 2FA BEFORE LOGGIN IN, IF U DOAN DO DAT, DEN TEH FILE CAN BE PICKD ONLY AFTR ASF SUCCESFULLY LOGS IN (AS ASF DOESNT KNOE steamID OV UR AKOWNT BEFORE IN FACT LOGGIN IN).

IF U DID EVRYTHIN RITE, LAUNCH ASF, AN U SHUD NOTICE:

[*] INFO: ImportAuthenticator() <1> Converting .maFile into ASF format...
[*] INFO: ImportAuthenticator() <1> Successfully finished importing mobile authenticator!

FRUM NAO ON, UR ASF 2FA SHUD BE OPERASHUNAL 4 DIS AKOWNT.

WinAuth

FIRSTLY CREATE NEW EMPTY BotName.maFile IN ASF CONFIG DIRECTORY, WER BotName IZ TEH NAYM OV UR BOT URE ADDIN ASF 2FA 2. REMEMBR DAT IT SHUD BE BotName.maFile AN NOT BotName.maFile.txt, WINDOWS LIKEZ 2 HIDE KNOWN EXTENSHUNS BY DEFAULT. IF U PROVIDE INCORRECT NAYM, IT WONT BE PICKD BY ASF.

NAO LAUNCH WINAUTH AS USUAL. RITE CLICK ON STEAM ICON AN SELECT "SHOW STEAMGUARD AN RECOVERY CODE". DEN CHECK "ALLOW COPY". U SHUD NOTICE FAMILIAR 2 U JSON STRUCCHUR ON TEH BOTTOM OV TEH WINDOW, STARTIN WIF {. COPY WHOLE TEXT INTO BotName.maFile FILE CREATD BY U IN PREVIOUS STEP.

IF U DID EVRYTHIN RITE, LAUNCH ASF, AN U SHUD NOTICE:

[*] INFO: ImportAuthenticator() <1> Converting .maFile into ASF format...
[*] INFO: ImportAuthenticator() <1> Successfully finished importing mobile authenticator!

FRUM NAO ON, UR ASF 2FA SHUD BE OPERASHUNAL 4 DIS AKOWNT.

DUN

FRUM DIS MOMENT, ALL 2fa COMMANDZ WILL WERK AS THEYD BE CALLD ON UR CLASIC 2FA DEVICE. U CAN USE BOTH ASF 2FA AN UR AUTHENTICATOR OV CHOICE (ANDROID, IOS, SDA OR WINAUTH) 2 GENERATE TOKENS AN ACCEPT CONFIRMASHUNS.

IF U HAS AUTHENTICATOR ON UR FONE, U CAN OPSHUNALLY REMOOV STEAMDESKTOPAUTHENTICATOR AN/OR WINAUTH, AS WE WONT NED IT NOMORE. HOWEVR, I SUGGEST 2 KEEP IT JUS IN CASE, NOT 2 MENSHUN DAT IZ MOAR HANDY THAN NORMAL STEAM AUTHENTICATOR. JUS KEEP IN MIND DAT ASF 2FA IZ NOT GENERAL PURPOSE AUTHENTICATOR, IT DOESNT INCLUDE ALL DATA DAT AUTHENTICATOR SHUD HAS, BUT LIMITD SUBSET OV ORIGINAL maFile. IZ NOT POSIBLE 2 CONVERT ASF 2FA BAK 2 ORIGINAL AUTHENTICATOR, THEREFORE ALWAYS MAK SURE DAT U HAS GENERAL-PURPOSE AUTHENTICATOR OR maFile IN OTHR PLACE, SUCH AS IN WINAUTH/SDA, OR ON UR FONE.

FAQ

HOW IZ ASF MAKIN USE OV 2FA MODULE?

IF ASF 2FA IZ AVAILABLE, ASF WILL USE IT 4 AUTOMATIC CONFIRMASHUN OV TRADEZ DAT R BEAN SENT/ACCEPTD BY ASF. IT WILL ALSO BE CAPABLE OV AUTOMATICALLY GENERATIN 2FA TOKENS ON AS-NEEDD BASIS, 4 EXAMPLE IN ORDR 2 LOG IN. IN ADDISHUN 2 DAT, HAVIN ASF 2FA ALSO ENABLEZ 2fa COMMANDZ 4 U 2 USE. DAT SHUD BE ALL 4 NAO, IF I DIDNT FORGET BOUT ANYTHIN - BASICALLY ASF USEZ 2FA MODULE ON AS-NEEDD BASIS.

WUT IF NEEDZ 2FA TOKEN?

U WILL NED 2FA TOKEN 2 ACCES 2FA-PROTECTD AKOWNT, DAT INCLUDEZ EVRY AKOWNT WIF ASF 2FA AS WELL. U SHUD GENERATE TOKENS IN AUTHENTICATOR DAT U USD 4 IMPORT, BUT U CAN ALSO GENERATE TEMPORARY TOKENS THRU 2fa COMMAND SENT VIA TEH CHAT 2 GIVEN BOT. U CAN ALSO USE 2fa <BotNames> COMMAND 2 GENERATE TEMPORARY TOKEN 4 GIVEN BOT INSTANCEZ. DIS SHUD BE ENOUGH 4 U 2 ACCES BOT ACCOUNTS THRU E.G. BROWSR, BUT AS NOTD ABOOV - U SHUD USE UR FRIENDLY AUTHENTICATOR (ANDROID, IOS, SDA OR WINAUTH) INSTEAD.

I CAN USE MAH ORIGINAL AUTHENTICATOR AFTR IMPORTIN IT AS ASF 2FA?

YEZ, UR ORIGINAL AUTHENTICATOR REMAINS FUNCSHUNAL AN U CAN USE IT TOGETHR WIF USIN ASF 2FA.c THAZ TEH WHOLE POINT OV TEH PROCES - WERE IMPORTIN UR AUTHENTICATOR CREDENTIALS INTO ASF, SO ASF CAN MAK USE OV THEM AN ACCEPT SELECTD CONFIRMASHUNS ON UR BEHALF.

WER IZ ASF MOBILE AUTHENTICATOR SAVD?

ASF MOBILE AUTHENTICATOR IZ SAVD IN BotName.db FILE IN UR CONFIG DIRECTORY, ALONG WIF SUM OTHR CRUSHUL DATA RELATD 2 GIVEN AKOWNT. IF U WANTS 2 REMOOV ASF 2FA, READ HOW BELOW.

HOW 2 REMOOV ASF 2FA?

SIMPLY STOP ASF AN REMOOV ASSOCIATD BotName.db OV TEH BOT WIF LINKD ASF 2FA U WANTS 2 REMOOV. DIS OPSHUN WILL REMOOV ASSOCIATD IMPORTD 2FA WIF ASF, BUT WILL NOT DELINK UR AUTHENTICATOR. IF U INSTEAD WANTS 2 DELINK UR AUTHENTICATOR, APART FRUM REMOVIN IT FRUM ASF (FIRSTLY), U SHUD DELINK IT IN AUTHENTICATOR OV UR CHOICE (ANDROID, IOS, SDA OR WINAUTH), OR - IF U CANT 4 SUM REASON, USE REVOCASHUN CODE DAT U RECEIVD DURIN LINKIN DAT AUTHENTICATOR, ON TEH STEAM WEBSIET. IZ NOT POSIBLE 2 UNLINK UR AUTHENTICATOR THRU ASF, DIS AR TEH WUT GENERAL-PURPOSE AUTHENTICATOR DAT U ALREADY HAS SHUD BE USD 4.

I LINKD AUTHENTICATOR IN SDA/WINAUTH, DEN IMPORTD 2 ASF. I CAN NAO UNLINK IT AN LINK IT AGAIN ON MAH FONE?

NO. ASF IMPORTS UR AUTHENTICATOR DATA IN ORDR 2 USE IT. IF U DELINK UR AUTHENTICATOR DEN ULL ALSO CAUSE ASF 2FA 2 STOP FUNCSHUNIN, REGARDLES IF U REMOOV IT FIRSTLY LIEK STATD IN ABOOV QUESHUN OR NOT. IF U WANTS 2 USE UR AUTHENTICATOR ON BOTH UR FONE AN ASF (PLUS OPSHUNALLY IN SDA/WINAUTH), DEN ULL NED 2 IMPORT UR AUTHENTICATOR FRUM UR FONE, AN NOT CREATE NEW WAN IN SDA/WINAUTH. U CAN HAS ONLY WAN LINKD AUTHENTICATOR, THAZ Y ASF IMPORTS DAT AUTHENTICATOR AN ITZ DATA IN ORDR 2 USE IT AS ASF 2FA - IZ TEH SAME AUTHENTICATOR, JUS EXISTIN IN 2 PLACEZ. IF U DECIDE 2 DELINK UR MOBILE AUTHENTICATOR CREDENTIALS - REGARDLES IN WHICH WAI, ASF 2FA WILL STOP WERKIN, AS PREVIOUSLY COPID MOBILE AUTHENTICATOR CREDENTIALS WILL NO LONGR BE VALID. IN ORDR 2 USE ASF 2FA TOGETHR WIF AUTHENTICATOR ON UR FONE, U MUST IMPORT IT FRUM ANDROID/IOS, WHICH IZ DESCRIBD ABOOV.

IZ USIN ASF 2FA BETTR THAN WINAUTH/SDA/OTHR AUTHENTICATOR SET 2 ACCEPT ALL CONFIRMASHUNS?

YEZ, IN SEVERAL WAYS. FURST AN MOST IMPORTANT WAN - USIN ASF 2FA SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASEZ UR SECURITY, AS ASF 2FA MODULE ENSUREZ DAT ASF WILL ONLY ACCEPT AUTOMATICALLY ITZ OWN CONFIRMASHUNS, SO EVEN IF ATTACKR DOEZ REQUEST TRADE DAT IZ HARMFUL, ASF 2FA WILL NOT ACCEPT SUCH TRADE, AS IT WUZ NOT GENERATD BY ASF. IN ADDISHUN 2 SECURITY PART, USIN ASF 2FA ALSO BRINGS PERFORMANCE/OPTIMIZASHUN BENEFITS, AS ASF 2FA FETCHEZ AN ACCEPTS CONFIRMASHUNS IMMEDIATELY AFTR THEYRE GENERATD, AN ONLY DEN, AS OPPOSD 2 INEFFICIENT POLLIN 4 CONFIRMASHUNS EACH X MINUTEZ DUN E.G. BY SDA OR WINAUTH. IN SHORT, THAR IZ NO REASON 2 USE THIRD-PARTY AUTHENTICATOR OVAR ASF 2FA, IF U PLAN ON AUTOMATIN CONFIRMASHUNS GENERATD BY ASF - THAZ EGSAKTLY WUT ASF 2FA IZ 4, AN USIN IT DOEZ NOT CONFLICT WIF U CONFIRMIN EVRYTHIN ELSE IN AUTHENTICATOR OV UR CHOICE. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND 2 USE ASF 2FA 4 ENTIRE ASF ACTIVITY - DIS AR TEH MUTCH MOAR SECURE THAN ANY OTHR SOLUSHUN.

ADVANCD

IF URE ADVANCD USR, U CAN ALSO GENERATE MAFILE MANUALLY. DIS CAN BE USD IN CASE UD WANTS 2 IMPORT AUTHENTICATOR FRUM OTHR SOURCEZ THAN TEH ONEZ WEVE DESCRIBD ABOOV. IT SHUD HAS VALID JSON STRUCCHUR OV:

{
  "shared_secret": "STRING",
  "identity_secret": "STRING"
}

STANDARD AUTHENTICATOR DATA HAS MOAR FIELDZ - THEYRE ENTIRELY IGNORD BY ASF DURIN IMPORT, AS THEYRE NOT NEEDD. U DOAN HAS 2 REMOOV THEM - ASF ONLY REQUIREZ VALID JSON WIF 2 MANDATORY FIELDZ DESCRIBD ABOOV, AN WILL IGNORE ADDISHUNAL FIELDZ (IF ANY). OV COURSE, U NED 2 REPLACE STRING PLACEHOLDR IN DA EXAMPLE ABOOV WIF VALID VALUEZ 4 UR AKOWNT. EACH STRING SHUD BE BASE64-ENCODD REPRESENTASHUN OV BYTEZ TEH APPROPRIATE PRIVATE KEY IZ MADE OV.
