Error running steamctl authenticator add about steamctl

[rossengeorgiev]

Hi, there can only be one authenticator configured on a steam account. My guess is the response means there is already an authenticator configured. I'll test that out later.

You will need to remove your current steam guard, which will impose some restrictions on steam account, and run the add command. There will be prompt for whether you want to configure the app in parallel. It should let you have the same guard secrets in steamctl and the phone app.

Yes! I removed my current Steam Guard and ran the command again. This time it worked 100.

Thank you. much appreciated.

If possible, you can consider changing your code, so that when someone already has Steam Guard on his/her phone it would prompt you to remove it on the phone and not give an error.

Did you set up with steamctl and steam app together? Just curious if it worked.

Great suggestion, a message for that situation is needed

Yes, I did run the setup with steamctl and steam together without a problem.

When you have included the enhancement I will also test for you. ;-)
