I was starting up steam and was greated with the login page. I logged in, entered my 2FA code, and it started. I then closed out by using i3's kill window shortcut (Mod + q) and then later restarted steam and got the login page again, requiring me to enter my login information and my 2FA code.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Logging in on steam and checking "remember me"
  2. Closing steam or restarting computer
  3. Opening steam again
