Version 1.0.15

⚠️ Steam Desktop Authenticator is no longer supported and will not receive any more updates. You should only use Steam's official mobile app to login to your account. Using SDA or any other tool is dangerous and puts your account at risk.

⚠️ Never download Steam Desktop Authenticator from any other website. The only official source is this GitHub page.

ℹ️ SDA now requires .NET 8. You can download .NET 8 from Microsoft: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0 Use the version under ".NET Desktop Runtime"

Changes:

• Port to .NET 8
• Update SteamKit to 3.0.0 Beta 4, this fixes logging into Steam
• Add warning about SDA not being supported
• Fix exception when loading broken avatars
• Add support for different phone number countries

Version 1.0.14

Changes:

• Fix adding accounts always resulting in "Error adding your authenticator".

Known Issues:

• Confirmations do not load on Windows 7 due to SSL/TLS issues.

Never download SDA from any other websites. Any official updates will only be posted to this GitHub releases page.

I highly recommend against using SDA as the very concept of it reduces your account security. You should be using the official Steam mobile apps to keep your account safe.

Version 1.0.13

Changes:

• All Steam fixes from v1.0.12: https://github.com/Jessecar96/SteamDesktopAuthenticator/releases/tag/1.0.12

Version 1.0.12

• Implement the new Steam authentication method. SDA now uses SteamKit to do so.
• Implement the new method of getting confirmations. Thank you to @jorgermduarte for the UI for this.
• Use async methods for most blocking operations now. This makes the UI not hang anymore.
• Remove CEF since we don't need to show a web browser anymore.

Thank you all for your patience on this update. I still highly recommend against using SDA as the very concept of it reduces your account security. You should be using the official Steam mobile apps to keep your account safe.

Version 1.0.11

• Fixes for the changes to Steam login. You may need to use the "Login Again" button under "Selected Accounts" to have confirmations work again. "Refresh session" is also removed. You will have to use the login button to update your session.
• Increased .NET framework version to 4.7.2

This version now requires .NET Framework 4.7.2. Windows will likely prompt you to install it if you don't have it installed already. You can also download it from here: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net472

To update SDA: Extract all the files contained inside the below ZIP file over your copies of the same files wherever you installed Steam Desktop Authenticator. The program will not run unless you extract all the files. Do not delete your maFiles folder.

Version 1.0.10

• Fixed adding new accounts. Steam added another email confirmation step when adding a phone number to an account.
• Fixed auto trade confirmations only working for the currently selected account.
• Fixed "Setup New Account" and "Setup Encryption" buttons not resizing correctly.
• Removed the ability to import from Android devices. This almost never worked and it's not safe to root your devices.
• Handle cases where manifest.json gets corrupted.

Be careful downloading SDA. You should only be getting it from this GitHub page.
SDA is not dead. More updates are hopefully coming soon.

1.0.9 - Bug Fixes

This release, and SDA from now on only supports Windows 7 and higher.

You may need to download .NET 4.6.2: https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/dotnet-framework-runtime/net462

• Changed target framework to 4.6.2 - this fixes checking for updates.
• Updated CEF to v63

1.0.8.2 - SteamAuth Update

This release is a simple update of the SteamAuth library. This should fix auto-confirmations if you've been having issues with them.

As a side-effect, confirmation descriptions will currently not appear on confirmation popups.

1.0.8.1 - Bug fixes and more

Sorry for taking so long on this release, I've been very busy with other projects.

• Added the -k CLI option to specify your encryption key on startup
• Added the -s CLI option to start SDA in the tray

1.0.7.2 -- Batch confirmations, relogin prompt fix

This version fixes the bug that caused users to be asked to log into their Steam accounts far too often. It also makes use of Steam's new batch confirmation acceptance feature when auto-confirmation is enabled, and there are multiple confirmations to auto-confirm.
