You can now use authenticator apps to keep your GOG account secure!

Steam works with a normal TOTP app for me, hell, it works with two normal TOTP apps for me
Teach a brother how? I swear I couldn’t find it anywhere in the account settings.

Now when will Steam do this?
Idk why people think they cant add steam, i have it in my Aegis app.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't but I'll bite: How did you set that up?

wrote last edited by [email protected]I don't quite remember how to get the TOTP secret from the Steam app (they could in fact take notes from GOG here), iirc you have to extract it from the Android app via adb;
but once you have it, if this GitHub comment is correct you simply have to set the code size to 5 digits.If your phone has a rooted Android install, I found this guide.
... I swear when I did it, it wasn't this hard ._.

I don't recall, I've set it up a few years ago - I've been trying to look for instructions for another comment, but it seems that they made it VERY difficult for people without rooted Android to obtain the TOTP secret.
Though it is RFC 6238 compliant, using 5 digits instead of 6.

Thanks for this. Long overdue from GOG.
Their platform is really outdated. Can’t even edit or remove a game review without contacting support. It’s dumb. They’re losing precious time because of this

That much I can agree with at this point.
Actually, it's arguably even worse - it's not that Steam doesn't support normal TOTP, it's that Steam goes out of their way to prevent TOTP from being used without switching to an entirely new algorithm.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Could be worse. GOG's approach is super annoying, and a lot of platforms (like fucking Apple) actually require the use of insecure and invasive SMS verification. And as far as I know Steam hasn't been hit with any data breaches since 2011.

Thanks, and added.
Although it would have been nice if I could "upgrade" from email based 2step instead of having to disable it.

My honest reaction:

How did you manage? Thought steam 2fa was tied to steams app?

the store is a losing proposition right now from CDPR perspective. I am just happy to have a different place I can buy games that's not steam

Does it still work with Heroic and Lutris?

Do you consider Itch.io to be a viable platform ??

They'll need to put more effort into it. Make their APIs more open & maybe even fund Wine ?
Oh & DEFINITELY bring Galaxy 2.0 to linux, NATIVELY

How? I can't get it to give me the TOTP key, it just asks me to download their stupid app.

We can’t even edit the cookies section in their app or website and GOG is EU company btw, it’s bonkers!

I'd love that but don't get your hopes up, they can only do one small change every few years. You're asking them for at least 3 centuries of dev time
