Installed Steam on a new computer. Signed in. It sent a passcode to my GMail. I signed into GMail. It wanted me to 2FA because I hadn't signed into Google on that device. It sent a notification to my phone, which I never received. I had it resend the notification twice, still nothing. Tried again with my phone's offline passcodes. Neither worked. Tried the QR code/Bluetooth connection, and that finally did it.
At least I got through in the end, but fuck, it's annoying.
yeah, its a bit of a clusterfuck. Half the time when I sign into gmail I get a code sent to my phone, but when i open the notification on my phone the code flashes for the briefest second before prompting me to hit yes. I hit yes, then it goes away, but my computer is still asking what code is showing on my phone.
so goddamned annoying
