Installed Steam on a new computer. Signed in. It sent a passcode to my GMail. I signed into GMail. It wanted me to 2FA because I hadn’t signed into Google on that device. It sent a notification to my phone, which I never received. I had it resend the notification twice, still nothing. Tried again with my phone’s offline passcodes. Neither worked. Tried the QR code/Bluetooth connection, and that finally did it.

At least I got through in the end, but fuck, it’s annoying.

    As many of my 2fa tokens are stored in my 1password account so I don’t have to do all the text and email code verification. Its more annoying when I can’t store the 2fa and the service insists on doing text or email codes.
