Installation issue from beta tester #4

Closed joschu closed 6 years ago

joschu commented 6 years ago

might be worth a hint in the error message or readme

Sonic install failed silently until I figured out how to do this part. I couldn't leave it blank.

"Steam Guard code (leave blank if unknown):"

You hit enter. I'm not sure what the issue is?

This is all she wrote in the email. Feel free to ignore if it doesn't make sense. I'll tell you her slack username if she joins retro-external.

endrift commented 6 years ago

Yeah, I might just need to rephrase it to make it more clear. Not sure.

I hit enter and it failed silently, making it look like it was just taking a long time to install. In order to get it to install, I logged into Steam in a new browser, which sent me an email with a Steam Guard code.

Steam Guard is turned on by default for accounts with verified email addresses, and this API doesn't seem to trigger the email with a Steam Guard code.

Here's an example of a note that would have cleared it up for me:

Steam Guard is Steam's two-factor authentication. If you haven't switched your settings to use Steam's mobile app for two-factor authentication, you can get a Steam Guard code via email if you log into Steam in a new or private browser. You can change your settings at https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage.

Oh, I have Steam Guard enabled on my phone so I didn't even realize. I'll add a note. Thanks!

Thanks @ahuhn, didn't know your github handle.

Added a note on the details page.
