He'll probably not read your mail since the only thing he checks is his spam
Steam store's search function is broken too. Valve has completely fucked up.

oh I thought I was the only one.
>not using the android app authenticator or sms with your phone number
Steam is just fucked right now. Can't even purchase games with my credit card which used to work. It just says "declined" but it managed to charge my card successfully and refund itself.

I even came home early today because it is snowing a lot outside and I wanted to get comfy and try playing games again.
Every time I try to get back into gaming the gaming industry gives me the finger and then shoves it up my ass.

I'm 99% certain I already have my number in the system and ready for SMS verification. However, the login screen in the OP didn't give me the option. Only email.
can you at least play games you installed?
>>321803701
It did that to me yesterday, it said it had been declined but it wasn't because my card was charged and the game added to my library.

Sure - but if he needs to get through Steam Guard it means he's doing this from a new computer/Steam installation, in which case he can't.
>>321803938
different computer.
No games installed.

>android app authenticator
can i use this with a wifi only device or does the authenticator only work with an actual phone?
>>321804825
works with my tablet
You just gotta be able to run android really. I'm sure you could use one of the android emu in linux or something.

>works with my tablet
No it doesn't. Their authanticator requires a phone number. Their FAQ even says "No we don't offer an non-SMS version"
>>321803934
You have to set it up on your phone.
It wont let me post the link because /v/ thinks it is spam...
Just google "steam app verification" it is the first link in google. then click on "how do I enable steam guard mobile authenticator"
>>321805296
i have a droid tablet, i just thought that you had to have an actual phone to authorize the app itself and receive login codes, at least that what all the faqs say.
>>321805525
You do. He's full of shit, the device must be a phone. You require a phone number to even start the app's linking process.

some gooks are DDoSing Valve.
Is something still wrong with your guys Steam?
Mine's working fine, I just sent a gift game and everything.
>>321805764
It's beyond fucked. Can barely browse the store, half of all the tags don't show any games, the ones that do work I can only browse 1 or 2 pages. Search works sporadically, it can't find some games at all.

Are you outside North America? Everything is working fine for me except the Queue page is super slow.
>>321806370
Europe.
