Initial setup help #1

Closed NorskNoobing closed 1 month ago

NorskNoobing commented 1 month ago

I'm not entirely sure how to get the steamguard secret. I have already set up 2fa through ArchiSteamFarm, so I should be able to get the info from there. Maybe you're familiar with ASF, so do you know if they provide the B64 encoded secret, or if it's just the plaintext secret that I'd have to encode myself?

Another thing that would help is to see what the plaintext secret syntax looks like.

It should be the 28 character (including the padding =) base64 encoded secret. I originally setup ASF with SteamDesktopAuthenticator, so it's the shared_secret value from its .maFile. Not sure if that can be extracted from an ASF instance.

The value just gets passed in to steam-totp, so it could be a hex string as well.

I just copied the shared_secret from the .maFile. The problem I had was that it was 33 characters, as there's a + sign in the value that was converted to \u002B. I changed it back to a +, and inserted it into the secret field of the json file, and it seems like it's working.

I'm also wondering what's required for the authCodes download method? Is it just the authCodeLogin, or is the steamApiKey also required?

The auth code method is useful if you have friends' demos you want to download. The authCodeLogin account should ideally be a secondary account, since it has to launch CS2 to get the match data and you don't want it interrupting your main account while in-game. The steamApiKey and authCodes are also required for that method.

Thanks for the quick response(s). It seems to be up and working now😊
