ayo, hatty here. y'know, i got my 55 ref deposit yesterday, and yknow, i was all happy and jolly, but then, every single tradin bot rejected me cause i didnt have the mobile authenticator! but i heard about this third party software by the same guys who made scrap tf, which allows you to do the mobile auth on pc. so, y'know, i just wanna know, is it safe? im sorta paranoid bout this type of stuff, so yea

As long as you get it from the official source (JesseCar's Github repo) and not just googling "steam desktop authenticator" and clicking on the first .exe that pops up, you should be fine

um, the issue is that if someone gets a hold of your security code... you're fucked. It acts as your mobile auth, so if someone gets a hold of it they cant pretty much take all of your items and go.

About as safe as a plaintext file with your password written down on your desktop, if someone gets access to your PC its over. Though common sense can prevent that.
