If you're rooted, Aegis can import the seed from the Steam app then you don't need it anymore.
Oh, that's awesome!
But I don't have root
You may be able to use an older version of the app that allowed ADB backups, and extract the seed from that.
Another approach is to extract it from the Steam desktop app.
No idea what companies think they're accomplishing by using non-standard TOTP apps (that actually do TOTP under the hood). Microsoft do it so they can track your location and report it to managers when you login because it's something that management asks for. Some companies do it so they can lock you into their services. No idea why Steam does it.
There's an easier way: https://help.ente.io/auth/migration-guides/steam/
Thanks, I didn't know about
steamguard-cli. And I was able to import the code into Aegis too (just had to set the type to "Steam" so it would generate 5-letter codes instead of normal TOTP)...You don’t need root. https://help.ente.io/auth/migration-guides/steam/
