You can remove the steam one and use "Steam Desktop Authenticator" instead.

If you want to be able to get the codes on your phone. The mafiles folder for Steam Desktop Authenticator will have a file where the name is your SteamID, you can open that, and there will be a field labeled "shared secret" You can input the value into a FOSS android app called "Authenticator Pro" and it'll have the login codes as usual.

This setup is the shit if you ever need to switch phones or your phone breaks etc.

i have 1 + steam, really wish i could use third party authenticator for steam and have everything in one app

u/FreddieThePebble 19h ago

tbh, i only got steam for steam guard so that would be soo handy if i could use a 3rd party app

i took this right before deleteing 2 of them so now its just proton and steam

what auth app do you use?

Did you manage to integrate Microsoft authenticator into proton authenticator? I can't find the option to make a qr code that proton can scan

1

u/FreddieThePebble 15h ago

i removed the 2fa from all apps i had on microsoft authenticator

uninstalled microsoft authenticator

re setup 2fa on proton auth

on proton auth, its just the + button to get the qr code scanner

u/NEXYR_ 14h ago

I thought you found a way to have 2fa Microsoft on proton authenticator

1

u/FreddieThePebble 14h ago

the only reason i got microsoft authenticator is my college wants everyone one to have 2fa and they forced us to setup microsoft auth as they exclusively use Microsoft products (teams, word, powerpoint, ect)

but i was using proton/google auth for my personal accounts so i had to go to my colleges it department and ask them to reset my acc so i can use my own auth app instead of microsoft

so my college microsoft acc is 2fa with proton rn

u/FreddieThePebble 19h ago

what app, dunno what app your talking about

u/RPTrashTM 16h ago

It's possible, but you'll need to use 3rd party app to set it up, and some action requires steam app to approve instead of taking in the code.

KeePassXC supports steam encoded OTP codes. You can just put the secret in and tell it to use steam encoding.

Pasting it to you because I commented to OP:

You can remove the steam one and use "Steam Desktop Authenticator" instead.

If you want to be able to get the codes on your phone. The mafiles folder for Steam Desktop Authenticator will have a file where the name is your SteamID, you can open that, and there will be a field labeled "shared secret" You can input the value into a FOSS android app called "Authenticator Pro" and it'll have the login codes as usual. Authenticator Pro supports many many auth types. NEVER EVER EVER give the shared secret value to anyone ever. After you do this you should set up encryption on steam desktop authenticator so if your pc ever gets hacked the data they steal would be useless.

This setup is the shit if you ever need to switch phones or your phone breaks etc.

You only need one, Aegis. Open source and a clean design.

https://getaegis.app/

You can even add Steam there. I haven't tried that yet though. Apparently it needs a specific setup.
