requestPasswordChangeEmail() isn't working

[Jack]

It just isn't being sent. I even get a SteamGuard e-mail correctly sent beforehand, so I know that's working.

I've tried with multiple accounts.

 

 

var user = new SteamUser();

 

user.logOn({

  'accountName': <name>,

  'password': <password>

});

 

user.on('loggedOn', function() {

  console.log('Successfully logged in');

 

  user.on('emailInfo', function(addr, valid) {

    if (addr && valid) {

      console.log('Address: ' + addr);

 

      user.requestPasswordChangeEmail(<current password>, function(err) {

        if (err) {

          console.log(err);

        } else {

          console.log('Successfully sent e-mail')

        }

      });

    }

  });

});

 

> Successfully logged in

> Address: <e-mail>

> Successfully sent e-mail

 

I figured that e-mail info not being emitted yet could be the problem, but as you can see I tested that and it comes out fine.

 

The docs say that if there's a mobile authenticator, the function will return true but not do anything. But none of the accounts have a mobile authenticator.

 

I'm using 3.28.1, the latest version as of posting this.

 

I'm convinced there's just a bug. Am I wrong? er

You appear to be correct. It looks like the client uses the help site to change passwords now, so changing passwords through the client was probably disabled. I'll mark the method as deprecated.
