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.
wrote on 19 May 2025, 16:30 last edited by sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.comI 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 ._.

Though it is RFC 6238 compliant, using 5 digits instead of 6.

Thanks for this. Long overdue from GOG.

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.

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