Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Dec 19 2022, at 22:01:34
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Gentoo
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I have Steam guard 2FA set up via mail (no mobile auth) and as the current beta enforces the new react login and doesn't let you switch back, I am often required to re-authorize my login via Steam guard, rather than only requiring that on first login.

Expected behavior: On first login or after a long period withot a login I am required to enter a Steam Guard verification code, on every subsequent login, username and password are sufficient for login as the Steam client saves its auth token.

Actual behavior: I am asked every now and then for a Steam Guard verification code, this seems to happen especially often when switching accounts

I think this is happening to me as well, I currently have to enter an access code pretty much daily when logging in.
