Steam login fail: CAPTCHA

[seler]

Hi there.

When I try to start tradeoffer-manager I have fail on login with error CAPTCHA.

What is wrong?

You need to display out the capthcaUrl, then follow the link. What I suggest is make a login where you type in user pw, then if you get capthca error, display the url. Then go to link get captcha and enter into bot and login again. Boom captcha covered.

I see captcha-url by

    console.log(err.captchaurl);

after read captcha I've add it to the

var logOnOptions = {
	"accountName": "here_username",
	"password": "here_password",
	"captcha": "here_captcha_from_url"
};

but I have still the same error but next time with other captcha-url.

Well I know it works, you are just going to have to use your thinking cap to figure out a solution. Try and login on steam first. Then use bot

I could find no other information on this, i too get the captch loop bug. Using the exemple storehouse-steamcommunity.js  from https://github.com/DoctorMcKay/node-steam-tradeoffer-manager.
 

I added console.log(err.captchaurl);   to the if(err) of steam.login function, then i add en entry to the logOnOptions Arrray like this "captcha":"CQF2CO"  

 

But still get captcha error, and i've solved diffrent captcha.

Are you terminating the script between when you get the captcha URL and when you enter the solution? You can't do that, you need to prompt for the solution and then log on with the same SteamCommunity instance.
