Their platform is really outdated. Can’t even edit or remove a game review without contacting support. It’s dumb. They’re losing precious time because of this

the store is a losing proposition right now from CDPR perspective. I am just happy to have a different place I can buy games that’s not steam

We can’t even edit the cookies section in their app or website and GOG is EU company btw, it’s bonkers!

Do you consider Itch.io to be a viable platform ??

EDIT: Not sure what I meant for “precious time”

Thanks, immediately went to set it up. No issues. Also works properly in combination with keepassxc’s TOTP feature.

Now when will Steam do this?
_spiffy@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
They do. Just not 3rd party.

How did you manage? Thought steam 2fa was tied to steams app?
MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
How? I can’t get it to give me the key, it just asks me to download their stupid app.

What does GOG’s 2FA do that Steam’s 2FA doesn’t?
NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
At a glance (haven’t enabled yet, will later today), GoG uses the RFC standard TOTP model. This means you can use whatever app you want whether that is the google authenticator that ties it to your cloud account, something related to your password manager (e.g. keepass or bitwarden), or even just a python script you have in a random directory. It gives you control of your 2FA and protects you in the event you lose a device without properly de-authenticating it.
Valve use their own model that, to my knowledge, is only accessible through the Steam web app. Which is a huge nightmare if you ever have a device stolen/damaged.

It presumably works with a normal TOTP app.

Unless I’m missing something, Steam only does code to email 2FA, not an actual TOTP app

About time

Thanks, and added.
Although it would have been nice if I could “upgrade” from email based 2step instead of having to disable it.

2FA (Time-based One-Time Password) login
Gog, how are you oven securing accounts? You mean securing access to accounts through 3rd party TOTP, which again, isn’t sessioning access authenticatively. We already invented that.

Does it still work with Heroic and Lutris?🤔

FINALLY
