Usage of this library causes account to enter a "compromised" state

Open ianw11 opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

Since updating to 3.48.8, logging in causes my account to get flagged by Steam as "compromised".

A red notification shows up in the title bar saying "an unknown device has logged in from " and I have to go through Steam Support to unlock the account. This involves resetting my password and even unlinking and relinking my Steam Authenticator.

I don't know if this is affecting anybody else, but at this point I cannot log in. Is there a header field I need to specify to indicate "this is a trusted device"? Is the PiHole on my network causing issues?

That's concerning

It appears others are experiencing this as well, but I might migrate this issue over to the steam-session repo
