Unless I’m missing something, Steam only does code to email 2FA, not an actual TOTP app
They have TOTP but only in their app.
So effectively, they don’t do what GOG is doing.
Not exactly, no
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.
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 ._.
