Much time asking for Steam Guard App Code

[laroz]

Hey,

 

much time, when the bot start/restart/crashed it comes 

Steam Guard App Code:

But why? I dont can find this...

 

Is this cause i used with App Guard?

"domain": 'MYDOMAIN.com'

You can only use a code once. Subsequent uses will be rejected. Codes change every 30 seconds.

 

In practice, this means that a second login within a 30-second interval will be rejected and ask for a new code.

But what can i do, if the bot ask for Steam Guard Code:? 

The Bot dont try again for his own... i must turn off and start again to fix it...

Alright. I'm not completely sure if this will help you out, but this is what I currently use and it works for me:

// Disables asking for Steam Guard Code
client.setOption("promptSteamGuardCode", false);

// Logs on
client.logOn({
	"accountName": config.username,
	"password": config.password
});

// If some error occured during logon. Closes the process
client.on("error", function (e) {
    console.log(e);
    process.exit(1);
});

// If last Steam Guard Code was wrong, here a new one is created
client.on("steamGuard", function(domain, callback, lastCodeWrong) {
	if(lastCodeWrong) {
		console.log("Last code wrong, try again!");
	}	
	callback(SteamTotp.generateAuthCode(config.sharedsecret));
});

You will need to use the Steam Desktop Authenticator for this! That can be found here https://github.com/Jessecar96/SteamDesktopAuthenticator

 

Furthermore you need Dr. McKay's node-steam-totp library as well to generate new Steam Guard Codes from the shared_secret.

Please do some reasearch about 'shared_secret' and 'identity_secret' and from then on you'll be alright!

Alright, I just had this problem that the last Steam Guard code was wrong and it tried logging into Steam again like 5 times within 2 seconds. Of course this gave me the RateLimitExceeded error. Could I solve this by adding a setTimeOut before the callback? Basically something like this:

// If last Steam Guard Code was wrong, here a new one is created
client.on("steamGuard", function(domain, callback, lastCodeWrong) {
	if(lastCodeWrong) {
		logger.warn("Last code wrong, try again!");
	}
	logger.warn("Waiting 30 seconds for a new Steam Guard code");
	setTimeout(callback(SteamTotp.generateAuthCode(config.sharedsecret)), 30000);	
});

[Dr. McKay]

Yes, you should set a timeout. The code a couple posts back will just spam Steam with login requests which will get you locked out.

 

That's not how you set a timeout, though. You want this:

setTimeout(function() {
    callback(SteamTotp.generateAuthCode(config.sharedsecret));
}, 30000);

Thanks, that worked once again really well! My code did indeed not work since the callback wasn't a function...

 

I tried to create my own method.

function getGuardCode() {
	return callback(SteamTotp.generateAuthCode(config.sharedsecret)); /* I even tried without return, but that didn't help either */
}
	
setTimeout(getGuardCode(), 30000);

But well that didn't work...

 

I know you don't give JavaScript classes, but why does it work when you only have

function() {
    callback(SteamTotp.generateAuthCode(config.sharedsecret));
}

Does this 'force' callback to become a function? Or is it like 'Hey, here is now a function. Just use it'?

[Dr. McKay]

Your first code snippet will work if you get rid of the parenthesis. Like this: setTimeout(getGuardCode, 30000);

 

You need to pass setTimeout a function. By adding parenthesis, you're calling the function and passing its return value (undefined) instead of passing it.

Thank you guys!

That is working

client.on("steamGuard", function(domain, callback, lastCodeWrong) {
	if(lastCodeWrong) {
		console.log("Last code wrong, try again!");
		setTimeout(function() {
		    callback(SteamTotp.getAuthCode("YOURCODE"));
		}, 30000);
	}	
});

I mean this 30 seconds is for Steam Codes, cause this time needs to wait for the new code right?

 

Than close it Working!
