Adding Steam to Aegis from steamguard cli
This solution may be of particular use if you already use the steamguard-cli your PC. It avoids the need for a rooted Android device to extract secrets from.
-
First off you need to open your steamguard-cli file directory (usually
~/.config/steamguard-cli/maFiles/
), and find the *.maFile inside. -
Then you can send the file to your phone, open it with your favourite text editor on your phone and copy yourTOTPSecret in
uri
field (looks likeotpauth://totp/Steam:{yourUserName}?secret{yourTOTPSecret}&issuer=Steam
). -
Open Aegis and press the '+' button and select enter manually
-
Paste yourTOTPSecret into the secret field, press advanced, press type and select steam
-
Fill out the rest of the non-advanced fields as you wish, and press save when you are finished

First off you need to open your steamguard-cli file directory (usually

DO NOT USE AN ONLINE QR CODE GENERATOR, IF YOU DO THEY WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR STEAM 2FA CODE
