Credit to Lashman. Just a heads up for anyone who has a Windows phone and wants the proper mobile authentication security, versus using the shoddy mobile site.

For some reason this app isn't available on my 950XL.

Dinjoralo · Jun 28, 2016

Aaaand it seems like you can't just use it on windows 10, which would be nice since I could just confirm all my market listings right on my computer.

I was going to say something, but I'm switching from my Lumia 1520 to a OnePlus3 after work tonight.

Maybe works in conjunction with the Windows 10 Mobile emulator, not tried myself though as I have no use for it.

Why would you need to use it on your PC when you could use the full Steam program?

I'm not surprised. This was a very nice gesture on Valve's part but I'm guessing it's mainly motivated by the need to provide the authenticator for these phones/users. Doesn't make sense to have the authenticator on the same device you are accessing Steam from (i.e. your PC) since it would then no longer be a barrier to anyone who stole/took over your PC.

Speaking of the Authenticator, I really wish you could just use Google's authenticator instead. I hate having to open the Steam app on my phone just for a code, when all my other 2nd factor codes are on the Google app.

Again, to confirm market listings, which are shunted onto my phone because of mobile authentication.

Steam Guard

LightningXCE · Jun 28, 2016

Awesome, downloading now!

For those asking for it on PC... having it on the same device you are authenticating on completely defeats the purpose of two-step authentication...

Glass Shark · Jun 28, 2016

Unfortunately it looks just as crappy as it does on other devices.

killer rin · Jun 29, 2016

If Valve went to the effort of making a UWP app, I'm surprised they didn't upload the Windows 10 .appx file that should have been generated when they compiled it

KainXVIII · Jun 29, 2016

Still waiting this mobile client for Symbian devices (i'm serious)

I wish you could just use something like Google Authenticator for mobile authentication for Steam

RedToad64 · Jun 29, 2016

I just switched away from Windows Phone. Well, at least it eventually happened.

The app is working on Windows 10 phones now. I was just able to install it

HideyoshiJP · Jun 29, 2016

Man, this is like a phone too late for me. I've had two Windows Phones and loved them, but I don't know that I'll go back. I admittedly platform hop, though, and am not going to trade my Xperia Z3 for a phone with no headphone jack.

The thing is, people wanted it to install on their gaming PC, which would eliminate Valve's need for it anyway, which is exactly what most people want to do.

Security is inconvenience.

TheSeks · Jun 29, 2016

Doesn't work on Windows PC's.

So in other words, me using Win2Auth or this is out of the question for Steam's shitty authentication of the marketplace.

Fabulous, Valve.

That would break the entire point. You would install it on your Windows 10 PC, and as soon as that PC is stolen/superhacked, your account is busted. Valve is perfectly aware of no one caring about it until it happens and they are suddenly supposed to prevent it, so they explicitly disabled it on PCs.

On a serious note, I'm glad they did this. Was getting kind of annoyed at the lack of official support.

Ha, same. I had many quibbles with my WP phone, but when Steam gave me a trade hold because I couldn't use the mobile authenticator, it was one of the last straws.

No regrets making the jump, although I miss the interface.

PantsuJo · Jun 29, 2016

Finally my Lumia has an official Steam client, so glad

Caayn · Jun 29, 2016

There are those who said this day would never come. What are they to say now.

Thanks for the heads-up. Only Sony/Playstation is left on list my of app I would want on Windows Mobile.

Cute Dragon Here · Jun 29, 2016

About time I'm no longer stuck waiting for a lot of things due to the lack of a usable authenticator app.

JoJo UK · Jun 29, 2016

Thanks for the heads up, just installed on my 950.

Echoplx · Jun 29, 2016

I can't believe Valve went through the effort of creating an app instead of just switching to an open 2FA standard that you can use with an app of your choice.

Possumowner · Jun 29, 2016
