I have tried what you said, it didn't work for that Steam account.

However, I tried with another Steam account and it did work. So it's just Steam.

Thank you.

I am writing the previous username used with the loginKey to a json file.

steamUser.on("loginKey", key => {
  var loginInfo =
  {
    accountName: userInfo.accountName,
    loginKey: key
  };
  var json = JSON.stringify(loginInfo);
  fs.writeFile("./login.json", json, "utf8", err =>
  {
    if (err) {
      console.error(err);
    }
  });
});

userInfo is an object containing accountName and rememberPassword which the user enters on startup.

This is the contents of the file "login.json" (Obviously I haven't included the username and loginKey in this post but they are there in the real thing)

{"accountName":"","loginKey":""}

I then load this file and use it with the logOn function:

var SteamUser = require("steam-user");
var steamUser = new SteamUser();

...

var prevLogin = require("login.json");
prevLogin["rememberPassword"] = true;
steamUser.logOn(prevLogin);

Then I get this error:

{ Error: InvalidPassword

So clearly I am doing something wrong. Is there some sort of tutorial on the correct way to do it? Or can someone tell me if they spot a mistake?
