## What it is
A Rust command-line utility for setting up and using Steam Mobile Authenticator (2FA). It generates Steam Guard codes and handles trade, market, and other mobile confirmations from the terminal.

## Use cases
- generate steam 2fa codes from the command line
- accept steam trade and market confirmations without the mobile app
- set up steam mobile authenticator on linux
- import steam desktop authenticator maFiles
- log into steam on a new device with a QR code
- store 2fa secrets encrypted with system keyring support

## When to choose
- you use Steam on Linux or a headless machine and need Steam Guard codes
- you want to script or automate trade/market confirmations
- you're migrating from Steam Desktop Authenticator and want a maintained CLI alternative

## When to avoid
- you prefer a GUI mobile authenticator app on your phone
- you need guaranteed production-grade reliability - the project is effectively in beta and mishandled secrets can lock you out of your account
- you're not comfortable managing and backing up maFiles yourself
