Migrating from Steam Authenticator ​

WARNING

Steam Authenticator code is only supported after auth-v3.0.3, check the app's version number before migration.

One way to migrate is to use this tool by dyc3 to simplify the process and skip directly to generating a qr code to Ente Authenticator.

  1. Download steamguard.exe from the releases page.

Login to Steam account ​

Set up a new account with steamguard-cli
