How can i pass 2FA authentification?

[Soulbadguy54]

Hello. For now every run of the script requires 2FA steam guard code. It makes the use of the script impossible. Because obviously i want to use it in backgroud with the possibility of autorestarts.
How can i pass 2FA steam guard? Probably make some guard file? But where can i get it? What should be in it? Where should i pass it in this library?
Thx for answers! <3

Some additionals, I already get secret_share and identify_secret. How can i use it in this lib to pass 2FA ?

There are two options:

1. Use SteamAuthenticator and generate a 2FA for every login

from steam.client import SteamClient
from steam.guard import SteamAuthenticator

client = SteamClient()
client.set_credential_location('./secrets_directory')

code = SteamAuthenticator(secrets={"shared_secret": "...."}).get_code()

client.login(username, password, two_factor_code=code)

2. Use login_key (Steam remember password feature)

# first login
client1 = SteamClient()
client1.set_credential_location('.')
client1.cli_login()

if not client1.relogin_available:
    client1.wait_event(EMsg.ClientNewLoginKey)

# save credentials for future logins
relogin_credentials = client1.username, client1.login_key

# second login (for example, reconnecting after being disconnected)
client1.disconnect()
client1.relogin()  # uses username and login_key

# third login (login after a while)

client2 = SteamClient()
client2.set_credential_location('.')
client2.username, client2.login_key = relogin_credentials
client2.relogin()

Example from steamctl handling remembered credentials:

Thx a lot! The first way looks slightly better. Do i really need the row with credentials? Looks like steam auth code is all i need :)

Up to you

Am I missing something?

client = SteamClient()
userdata = Path(USER_FILE)
if userdata.is_file():
    # read the data, populate SteamClient instance with user and login_key
    result = client.relogin()
    print(result)
else:
    client.cli_login()

Always returns LOGONDENIED.

If you are on email 2fa, or no 2fa, you may need the sentry blob. credential_location set the location where that file will be saved/loaded from. Just set the lines above just after clientx = SteamClient() and rerun.

Can you elaborate, you got me a bit confused here.

[rossengeorgiev]

updated the top example

There seems to be error with your example as .credential_location is a property, not a function, but I figured it out and yes, it now saves sentry file and works, thanks.

[rossengeorgiev]

It's set_credential_location(). I've fixed the example

How do I properly do re-login when steam rejects my sentry data?

client = SteamClient()
client.credential_location = '.'
userdata = Path(USER_FILE)
result = None
if userdata.is_file():
    f = open(USER_FILE, 'r', encoding='utf-8')
    client.username = f.readline().strip().rstrip('\n')
    client.login_key = f.readline().strip().rstrip('\n')
    f.close()
    result = client.relogin()
    #print(result)
else:
    client.cli_login()

if not client.relogin_available:
    client.wait_event(EMsg.ClientNewLoginKey)

the example says I need to wait for EMsg.ClientNewLoginKey but it throws with "This operation will block forever"
In fact, I dont even understand why does sentry data expire in like few minutes after being created.
