A Windows desktop application that implements Steam's mobile authenticator (Steam Guard), allowing users to generate two-factor authentication codes and confirm trades without a phone. It is a community project, not affiliated with Valve, and is now officially discontinued with no further updates.
Use cases
- generate steam guard codes on my pc instead of my phone
- confirm steam trades without a mobile device
- set up steam mobile authenticator on desktop
- manage multiple steam accounts' 2fa from one app
- recover steam authenticator using maFiles backup
When to choose
- you need Steam authenticator features but have no compatible phone
- you already have an existing maFiles setup and understand the risks
When to avoid
- you want a supported, secure two-factor solution - use Steam's official mobile app
- you need ongoing updates or support, as the project is abandoned
- your desktop is not trusted, since malware could hijack the authenticator
