Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a way for you to add an extra layer of security to your account. Once enabled, you will be required to enter a unique code sent to your mobile phone when logging in from any new device. This helps protect against unauthorized access.

To enable 2FA on Steam:
- Navigate to the Account tab in the menu bar at the top of your screen
- Click on Family Safety settings from there
1. Visit your Account Settings page.
- Visit your Account Settings page.
- Click on the Manage Steam Guard link, which will take you to the Enable Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator page.
- Click on Enable next to Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
2. Click on the Manage Steam Guard section at the top of the page.
- Click on the Manage Steam Guard section at the top of the page.
This will take you to a page where you can enable or disable Steam Guard, change your password, see other account settings and more. You will see a button to enable or disable two-factor authentication (2FA) for your account. Clicking this button will bring up another dialog box with additional information about what happens when you click on it:
3. Follow the steps required to enable this feature on your account.
To enable this feature, you need to follow the steps required to do so on your account.
- Enter your password.
- Enter your email address.
- Receive a code by text message or call (in case you don’t have access to SMS). This step is optional but recommended as it will make sure that no one else can gain access to your account if they get hold of the code sent by Steam or another app used for 2FA authentication such as Authy or Google Authenticator (which are not compatible with Windows 10). You can also choose not to receive any notification at all during this process if you prefer not having notifications while playing games online and offline.”
If a hacker manages to get hold of your password, they can still not login unless they also have your mobile phone.
If a hacker manages to get hold of your password, they can still not login unless they also have your mobile phone. This is a good thing because it means that you’re much safer from being hacked if someone does manage to steal your password.
You can use your phone to confirm a purchase or reset your password by taking pictures of the QR code with the Steam client installed on it and then sending them through via email or text message. You can also use this feature when trading items with other users in order to confirm that both parties have exchanged goods before proceeding with the exchange process itself.
The same goes for logging out of an account; if someone has access to both accounts (that’s right—you need two factor authentication enabled), then they’ll only be able to log into their own because there won’t be any access available for anyone else!
Conclusion
It is a good idea to enable 2FA on your Steam account as soon as possible. The feature will help protect against unauthorized access and also makes it easier for you to recover lost passwords.
