    C&P from my thread on SteamRep about this:

    Just made a trade after Steams downtime today, and I noticed a message similar to:
    "After October 22nd accounts with Steam Mobile Authenticator will have to complete this step through the mobile app."

    This should hopefully eliminate the majority of "forward your confirmation email" scams. I'm also assuming this will be October 21st in most timezones because I'm in Australia btw. If I find more information on this and post here.

    Thoughts?

    Thankfully I don't use mobile authentication... I'd go crazy if I had to find my phone just to login or accept a trade.

    Aren't you kinda worried that Steam Support is not going to help you if something happens now though?

    Well, unlike half of the Steam user base. I'm not a complete idiot when it comes to keeping my account safe. Also your post said nothing about support not helping people who don't use the mobile authenticator. It just stated that people who do use it will now have to confirm their trades via the app now.

    Yeah, to be fair though, Mattie! had his account hijacked a while ago; goes to show anyone can be hijacked. Also, sorry, I think I'm getting a bit confused with the Steam Support thing, mistaking it for completely disabling email authentication. I don't believe not using Mobile Authentication will prevent Steam Support from helping you.

    I think I'm going to keep it enabled either way, I usually have my phone with me anyway so it shouldn't be much of a problem.

    It just means that if you use the app that you won't get email notifications asking you to accept a trade you just did. Instead the notification will be on your phone where you'll accept it.

    I use the authenticator.

    I don't care about the verification though.

    I always use steam confirmation.

    That thing can save your entire steam account.

    I've got one of those Pebble Time smartwatchs, I really hope I can make an app that displays auth codes.

    the only thing I like about pebbles is the fact that you can play games in your History class when bored
