Don't give up on SDA
I love this tool and I don't want to deal with using my phone which can possibly break one day which would be a much worse outcome than SDA breaking.
We don't even have an alternative to this currently, what tool does scrap.tf even use for their trade bots?
I highly recommend that you should use the steam mobile app, if you are able to. Write down your recovery code and keep it in a safe place. You can transfer an existing authenticator to the official steam mobile app, but that does cause a 2 day trade ban.
If you are interested, I maintain steamguard-cli. It's capable of reading the exactly the same maFiles that SDA does, so you don't have to deal with a trade ban. It doesn't have a UI, so if you aren't really comfortable using a terminal, I would recommend you use the steam mobile app. You can download it here: https://github.com/dyc3/steamguard-cli/releases

Hello, i just created an account to say the same, i don't have a smartphone, and alternatives are not as safe or beginner-friendly. Thanks for your work and all you did for us, please don't give up on SDA, it's really a huge help !

I support, thank you.
One of my fears has come true.
It was never meant for security, only for simplicity. I don’t even want to imagine what’s ahead for all of us who used it. For every trade, you’ll now have to use your phone…
@Jessecar96, first, thank you for all these years. I believe it’s not just about money, but please reconsider this. Allow a one-time purchase option for all the years I used it for free, and then charge a monthly fee for future use. I don’t need updates or new features, and I don’t need authentication codes (if I can get them on the Steam mobile app). All I need is for the Steam trade confirmation window to be functional. Not improved, just functional.
If I pay monthly for things that waste my time, I’ll gladly pay for things that save it—and this app is definitely one of them.

I created a new rust based authenticator: https://github.com/0xAozora/steam-authenticator Feel free to use however its not polished yet.
