getting error on enabling 2FA

[geeknux]

HI, i trying to write a bot manager for trading, i try to get my secrect id and shared code by using this code:

var SteamCommunity = require('steamcommunity');
var community = new SteamCommunity();

community.login({
  "accountName": "MyAccountName",
  "password": "MyPassword",
  "twoFactorCode": "6 char code that i receive from steam guard mobile"
}, function (err, sessionId, cookies, steamGuard, token) {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
  else {
        community.loggedIn(function (err, result) {
      if (err) {
        console.log("loggedIn error: ", err);
      }
      else {
        community.enableTwoFactor(function (err, response) {
          if (err) {
            console.log("twoFactor Error: ", err);
          } else {
            console.log("response", response);
            community.finalizeTwoFactor(response.shared_secret, test, function(err, result){
              if("finalizeTwoFactor Error: ", err) {

               } else {
                 console.log("finalizeTwoFactor Success: ", result);
               }
             });
          }
        });
      }
    });
  }
});

I enabled my bot account with steam guard mobile, and verify the number, but when i try to start that code i get this error:

 

twoFactor Error:  { [Error: Error 29] eresult: 29 }

 

what did i miss here? i try to search in this forum and google but i can't find my answer.

DuplicateRequest

 

You can't enable 2FA if you already have 2FA enabled.

[geeknux]

Thanks, for you're reply, i resolve my problem, i revoke steam guard from my mobile first, then using the sample code for enabling 2fa from steamcommunity github, and that worked for me.

@Dr. McKay I'm having the same error right now. 2FA isn't connected (only via email). How can I fix this?

 

My solution:
First, I enter my username/password.
A code is sent to my email.
I enter my username/password and the code again.

And I get this error: DuplicateRequest

Show your code please.

[Gospodinoff]

The code is event-driven.

First, login() is called. Then, the "steam guard" code is entered, and the login() request is repeated.

You're getting DuplicateRequest in the login callback?

Yes, after a repeated request to the login() method. The first time I initiate authorization, I receive a Steam Guard code via email. Then I call the same login() method, but with the code inside. And then I receive a DuplicateRequest.

The same problem occurs when working with steam-session:
First, I call startWithCredentials(), and then submitSteamGuardCode().

[Dr. McKay]

I don't know why you'd get DuplicateRequest when logging in if you're doing everything correctly. Maybe the code was already used?

Не понимаю, почему при входе возникает ошибка DuplicateRequest, если всё сделано правильно. Может быть, этот код уже был использован?

I suspect the problem isn't in the code, but in the overall implementation of ElectronJS (which I use) applications. Everything works fine in development mode, but as soon as I create an .exe application, I get this error.

But I haven't yet figured out the cause of this problem.
