    How? I can’t get it to give me the key, it just asks me to download their stupid app.

    How did you manage? Thought steam 2fa was tied to steams app?

  What does GOG’s 2FA do that Steam’s 2FA doesn’t?

    It presumably works with a normal TOTP app.

      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?

    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.

    At a glance (haven’t enabled yet, will later today), GoG uses the RFC standard TOTP model. This means you can use whatever app you want whether that is the google authenticator that ties it to your cloud account, something related to your password manager (e.g. keepass or bitwarden), or even just a python script you have in a random directory. It gives you control of your 2FA and protects you in the event you lose a device without properly de-authenticating it.

    Valve use their own model that, to my knowledge, is only accessible through the Steam web app. Which is a huge nightmare if you ever have a device stolen/damaged.

  They do. Just not 3rd party.
