You should do that anyway if you want to keep your account safe to be honest. 

 

I gave up on it, it constantly logs itself out and then I log in on the mobile app and it says it won't let me log in without the code from that same app which it won't give me unless I log in.

 

So I end up having to recover it to my email or via text.

That does sound really annoying,  I totally understand that you don't want to bother with it anymore. Weirdthat it does that. Maybe at least try it again once you get a new phone?

The authenticator has always worked fine for me. Whenever I need to log back in and asks me for the code, it will automatically appear on my phone as a notification. Don't even have to open the app. 

Same here, but I guess we're lucky. I didn't even know so many people have issues with it.

Is there a way to point a new installation of Steam at an existing Steam Library?  I managed to break my O/S disk today and have just re-installed Windows; all my games are still safe on the storage drive but the new install of Steam can't see them.

 

Ah, never mind, I found why I'm having an issue with the recommended steps - I originally moved the games to the storage drive with Steam Mover, so the folder isn't structured like a proper Steam Library.  Bugger.

Steam>Settings>Downloads>Add Library Folder.

 

That should work.

D:\Steam\steamapps\common - for none valve games - then just a folder for the name of the game. Restart steam and then get them to verify the files. 

 

Or could you try running steam mover and reversing it? I seem to recall you could move it both ways.

The drive I moved them from is dead and buried, alas.

 

(It's actually not, which makes it even more frustrating - I've just snapped off the plastic L shape around the SATA pins so no cable will attach to it any more)

It does the same to me, and then randomly it just doesn't.

Guess I'm really one of the lucky ones then - it always works. So far. (I probably just jinxed it didn't I)

 

But to be brutally honest, a slightly wonky two-factor is better than the patented Sony Approach(tm) of no two-factor at all - the infamous "fuck you and fuck your personal information and fuck your credit card especially and fuck you banned" way of doing things <_< Doesn't mean that Valve shouldn't fix it though - and if not  in the next update, then probably in the one after that. Third time's the charm and all that :)

That should work.

I always just run Steam.exe from my steam library folder after a format. As soon as it runs and realises the program isn't installed, it downloads whatever it needs and sorts it all out without the need to repoint anything in settings.
