    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?

      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.

          Their platform is really outdated.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

            Okay, let's say there's currently no native support for normal TOTP, mostly because Steam doesn't give you access to your TOTP key.

              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.

                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.

                          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

                                      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

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

                                          It's sad, because I'm sure they could fix all of this easily and get a lot of profit from GOG, but they prefer to spend their time elsewhere for some reason
