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

Teach a brother how? I swear I couldn’t find it anywhere in the account settings.
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Their platform is really outdated.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:
