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.
Don’t worry its getting even worse some companies are going “passwordless” so you’re entirely reliant on their email servers functioning to log in at all. Once trying to cancel a subscription on such a site but the email wouldn’t send for several days lmao
