This is a known issue, and SDA isn't going to get updated for a while. Jessecar96 themselves has previously said on discord that he's too busy to update SDA right now. I highly recommend that you should use the steam mobile app, if you are able to.

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

Read the quickstart here: https://github.com/dyc3/steamguard-cli/blob/master/docs/quickstart.md

You can transfer an existing authenticator to the official steam mobile app, but that does cause a 2 day trade ban.

@dyc3 Sir, would you kindly provide instructions on transferring the authentication back to the official Steam Mobile App?

Just go into the app, log in, and try to add an authenticator. Follow the prompts. It tells you exactly what to do.
