Endless Captchas after Setup new account about steamdesktopauthenticator

[pipe01]

I think it's a SteamAuth bug, as it happened to me once when using the library.

Same problem here, it seems it doesn't matter what you type, it's going to fail
Also, i don't know if i sould open a new issue (still new to github), but when i managed to log in, the program asked for a steam guard code as usual, then asked the phone number. After that, it aksed dor the encryption key, but in the ***** format, and loaded the already added accounts. Now i can't login completelly as the program throws me back to 'the main menu' like nothing happened. Am I the only one who experienced this issue?

Did u useded the version 0.2.3 from here ? https://github.com/Jessecar96/SteamDesktopAuthenticator/releases

• I added my phone number on steam
• downloaded 0.2.3 "Source code (zip)"
• I rebuild version 0.2.3 (my rebuild version should be the same as the one compiled here "SDA0.2.3.zip")
• Added new account to this app
• I got a code on my phone from steam
• Wrote it in the program to activate it
• Received from the program a Revocation code - I wrote it down on paper
• Done

I ask because some code is missing from https://github.com/Jessecar96/SteamDesktopAuthenticator
and is added in releases > version 0.2.3 https://github.com/Jessecar96/SteamDesktopAuthenticator/releases

Thank you, i'll try it

If u decide to compile the code from there use the first part of this tutorial #33 and stop at section "Compile and test the x64 version"

[gmmanonymus111]

Maybe a dumb question, what should i do with the SteamAuth folder if VS2013 wants a SteamAuth.csproj?
EDIT: In the tutorial, you linked the wrong SteamAuth(?) Should I use this one instead?
https://github.com/geel9/SteamAuth

After compile, it reamins the same (the 'back to the main menu after typing the phone number) as well as the endless captcha

EDIT2: Before, i've successfully added 8 accounts, but the 9th is bugging

[pipe01]

There is a .sln file, open it by double clicking or in vs

[hyt47]

yes use it from https://github.com/geel9/SteamAuth - I corrected my mistake, I don't know how many accounts you can add to this program.

Too bad that i don't have multiple accounts right now to test the app
I guess u can run the app twice and add 8 accounts to each one

the 9th has bugs?

• u can't add it or u can't see it in the list ? Maybe the scrollbar is not working.

Thank you @hyt47 for your help
I couldn't add, now it's working. Seems we can't add more than 8 accounts
Solution(workaround?): Create a new folder, paste the program (without maFiles folder), set up the 9th account (rembember to use the same encryption key). After all your accounts' done, open manifest.json (in the 2nd program dir), copy everything between '{"encrypted":true,"entries":[]}' and paste it to manifest.json in the 1st program dir before the ']}' (use a ',' after the last entry in the 1st file). Now it should add your accounts to one program. Keep the 2nd folder in case of any error/bug

The endless captcha still there, though

[hyt47]

Thx for info @gmmanonymus111 is good to know this workaround.

I'm pretty sure this is a SteamAuth bug, but I cannot replicate it.

[pipe01]

Yeah, it happened to me when I first used the library

[Jessecar96]

I suggest you make a bug report at https://github.com/geel9/SteamAuth then.
