Question Steam-Guard turns on on login.

[T1MOXA]

The first time you log in to your account for some reason turns on Steam-Guard.

Why is this happening and can it be avoided ?

I'd like to keep my account unprotected.

[T1MOXA]

What I did:

Register for an account.

I authorize on the account without Steam-Guard using nodejs.

 

(All OK.)

 

Then I try to log on to another device using nodejs again.

And steam for some reason begins to ask the code.

I don't believe it's currently possible from this module to disable Steam Guard entirely.

[T1MOXA]

The fact is that before using the module - the protection is disabled, and then for some reason it turns on by itself.

[T1MOXA]

By the way, if I understand correctly, one request is enough to disable.

steam.on('webSession', (sessionID, cookies) => {
      let cookiejar = request.jar();
      for (let arr of cookies) {
          cookiejar.setCookie(arr, 'https://store.steampowered.com');
      }
      request({
            method: 'POST',
            uri: 'https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage_action'
            jar: cookiejar,
            simple: false,
            form: {
                   action: 'actuallynone',
          sessionid: sessionID
      }
   });
});

This is normal. Steam turns on Steam Guard automatically after you login via the client a few times.

There's no way to avoid it ?

Nope.
