AwesomeMcCoolName Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Every once in a while my phones browser just forgets that it's already been authorized and I have to enter a steam guard code... Why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluttershysYAAY Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 When you move to a different location, your IP address changes, SteamGuard works via logging your IP and matching it to your original. If it doesn't match, it will ask for the code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faceman™ Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Its happened even when my phones ip hasn't changed. I think it resets about every month where Steam will just completely forget about the authorization, that's what happens with my steam browsers.

Except I don't have that issue on my computers browser or steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperNati0n Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Maybe its got something to do with phones having less memory so the cookies and cache are reset once in a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
There Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 If you don't log in for a month, it resets? I assume you use your computer frequent enough that this isn't a problem, but possibly not phone? Idk, just a guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
