  Thanks for this. Long overdue from GOG.

    Their platform is really outdated.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

  Thanks, immediately went to set it up. No issues. Also works properly in combination with keepassxc’s TOTP feature.

  Now when will Steam do this?

    They do. Just not 3rd party.

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

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

      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.

      It presumably works with a normal TOTP app.

      Unless I’m missing something, Steam only does code to email 2FA, not an actual TOTP app

  About time

  2FA (Time-based One-Time Password) login

  Gog, how are you oven securing accounts? You mean securing access to accounts through 3rd party TOTP, which again, isn’t sessioning access authenticatively. We already invented that.

  Thanks, and added.

  Although it would have been nice if I could “upgrade” from email based 2step instead of having to disable it.
