Steam Desktop Authenticator 1.0.10

If you use Steam, you're probably familiar with the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator, a program that helps you protect your account by requiring double authentication. That makes it so if someone managed to guess your password right, they would still need access to your phone to get into your account. If you want to be even more secure, however, then there are a couple of unofficial programs that will help you with that. One of many is Steam Desktop Authenticator.

Installing Steam Desktop Authenticator is incredibly simple. Just unzip it from its archive and run the executable, and you're good to go. You also need to have Steam and .NET Framework 4.5.2 or later installed to use this program. You also need to set a mobile phone number for the initial configuration process and also log in to your Steam account.

If everything goes according to plan, then you should be able to select your account from the app's main window and view the current logging code. At this time, it's worth pointing out that this program can be used on multiple computers. In fact, this program specifically asks you if you have this set up on another computer and if you want to import the settings. The program isn't exactly complicated, but there is a ton of utility that this gives.

All in all, Steam Desktop Authenticator is simple but effective. If you want to protect your account with the rare triple authentication, then you should really take a look at this program.
