Unable to recive SMS codes

[2rsvold]

Hi there!

 

First of all: Thank you for creating this library! Been using it for a while now (couple of years, actually) and love it! Keep it up!

 

I recently started on a new bot for a new site I'm creating, and for some reason I got into som problems right away.

 

I tried your "enable_twofactor.js", and for some reason I never get the SMS at this point:

The account I use have a working (verified) phone number, as I am able to enable this via my phone.

 

I also thought that maybe this happened cause I already had this activate don my phone, so I tried removing it, going back to "steamguard mail", but the same issue happened?

 

I tried to use "WinAuth" also, as I only need to get the "shared_identity" and not run this script every time I want to use the bot, but also "WinAuth" got "stuck" at the same step? Has there been any changes to the API that maybe stop us from using it this way, or am I doing something wrong?

 

Note that I am using your code to perform this action:

Hope you have som tips!

 

Best regards,

Patrick

It's been experienced that Steam just won't send codes to some numbers. I'd suggest contacting Steam Support.

I'm so sorry, McKay, this was not your fault.

 

To anyone else: For some reason you don't always get the error message displayed in the console with the example. I guess that if the operation takes longer time (as it's async) then it takes to get to the line that reads the SMS input, you won't see the error message following your login.

 

In my case when I tested the same script later the message "This device already have authentication" (or something like that, can't remember), so my issue was that I had tried to login with my "main account" which I have connected with my phone, and not my "bot account".

 

TL;DR: PEBCAC

 

Thanks!
