How to Generate Steam Guard Backup Codes
Not many folks know that Steam allows you to generate backup steam guard codes in case you aren’t able to use a Steam authenticator app confirmation or standard authentication code, which is sent to a mobile app or email in case you lose your phone with the steam authenticator or email was hacked.
You can release backup codes only when you enable the Steam Guard mobile authenticator. If you usually receive codes in your email, you won’t be able to create them.
Remember that these backup codes can only be used to log into your account. You won’t be able to accept trade offers, remove your phone number, or change your password using these codes. Thus, no one can access your account using this feature.
Once the generation process is completed, you will receive a list of 30 backup codes. You can also deactivate released backup codes at any time. To do that, create a list with new backup codes, which will automatically deactivate the old ones.
We kindly ask our clients to provide these codes since this can significantly optimize the working process. We no longer need to wait for the client’s response before logging into their account—Booster will work immediately.
