Handle Steam password changes #94

Closed routemasters closed 8 years ago

I changed the pw on one account and now that one can't get trade confirmations. Do I have to remove the authenticator and re-add it with the new password or is there a way to edit the maFile and add the pass?

I believe if you remove the encryption key you can open the maFiles with notepad and edit them

Ps1d3r commented 8 years ago

Be sure to make a backup copy of the file before you edit, just in case you mess up

routemasters commented 8 years ago

thing is the passwords are hashed i think.

Idk then.. Haven't tried to do that... If you remove the authenticator, you can set it up again, but i believe you'll get a 7 day trade ban, or get the 3 day trade hold until 7 days pass again.. Better to wait for the Dev to reply here

The user's password is not stored in the maFile. It only contains session tokens that steam returns after logging in. I'm not actually sure what happens when a user changes their password, if the tokens expire or what.

I'll look into it.
