Compatibility

[Zeprix]

Why cant maFiles created with this tool be compatible with SDA?

Steam's login/authentication process has changed significantly since SDA was originally created.

This is an example maFile from SDA:

{
  "shared_secret": "zvIayp3JPvtvX/QGHqsqKBk/44s=",
  "serial_number": "kljasfhds",
  "revocation_code": "R12345",
  "uri": "otpauth://totp/Steam:example?secret=ASDF&issuer=Steam",
  "server_time": 1602522478,
  "account_name": "example",
  "token_gid": "jkkjlhkhjgf",
  "identity_secret": "kjsdlwowiqe=",
  "secret_1": "sklduhfgsdlkjhf=",
  "status": 1,
  "device_id": "android:99d2ad0e-4bad-4247-b111-26393aae0be3",
  "fully_enrolled": true,
  "Session": {
    "SessionID": "a;lskdjf",
    "SteamLogin": "983498437543",
    "SteamLoginSecure": "dlkjdsl;j%7C%32984730298",
    "WebCookie": ";lkjsed;klfjas98093",
    "OAuthToken": "asdk;lf;dsjlkfd",
    "SteamID": 1234
  }
}

This is an example maFile from steamguard-cli:

{
  "account_name": "example",
  "steam_id": 1234,
  "serial_number": "kljasfhds",
  "revocation_code": "R12345",
  "shared_secret": "zvIayp3JPvtvX/QGHqsqKBk/44s=",
  "token_gid": "jkkjlhkhjgf",
  "identity_secret": "kjsdlwowiqe=",
  "uri": "otpauth://totp/Steam:example?secret=ASDF&issuer=Steam",
  "device_id": "android:99d2ad0e-4bad-4247-b111-26393aae0be3",
  "secret_1": "sklduhfgsdlkjhf=",
  "tokens": null,
}

The information in Session is actually not necessary to generate codes, but IIRC the way SDA is set up, Session is required to be present in the maFile. Additionally, SDA's maFile format contains extra fields that are not necessary like fully_enrolled and status, and it doesn't like it when those are not present.

I actually somehow managed to import the maFile made with steamguard-cli to SDA
