Steamguard, absolute garbage

The system is a form of further security to prevent unauthorised access to your account. Period. If you don't like it, don't use it. But I for one with over 70 games, am sure as hell going to protect my account with the best means possible.

I've had problems with this - Finally got logged in when the emails eventually came through, restart my PC and it's prompting me for a code again, which hasn't been sent to me.

As soon as I get a response from Steam and get logged in, I'll turn it off. It's rubbish.

Add me to the ranks of the unimpressed. Starting a couple of weeks ago it's begun asking me for the code every single time I log in, exacerbated by the fact that I dual-boot at home and also log in from work. I think I'll disable it.

If you don't like it don't use it. I get a message recieved instantly to my e-mail, so whatever you use to recieve e-mails with, must have a form of delay added to it.

If you don't like it, just disable it. I use Gmail, and I get my emails from Steam instantly, so I don't see it as a big problem.

Bravo! Someone else like me. I get the via push e-mails to my iPhone also instant.

only issue I had was when I tryied to login twice and the first email got caught by junk filters.

Supernaut91 · 8 May 2011 at 11:31

I presume that is due to the message just being sent so quickly your e-mail client just responded as it were to be junk?

Check your account settings on your email client. Most have a strong policy on deleting junk, which you end up having to disable since you never get those account verification emails from anyone if it's on. I ended up setting mine to letting all junk through and just dealing with it in the junk folder, was easier than not receiving registration emails from every site I tried to join.
