Describe the bug
Getting EResult code 2 (FAIL) when trying to enable Steam Guard using enableTwoFactor method.
What I have tried so far:
- Removing email verification (completely disabled Steam Guard) - same error
- Using another IP address (not a VPN, legitimate residential IP) - same error
- Enabling Steam Guard from a physical phone (iPhone) - was able to setup Steam Guard without any issues
Versions
NodeJS v20.19.5 (MacOS)
steam-user v5.3.0 / (tried older versions as well, same issue)
Code snippet I'm using
const readline = require('node:readline');
const SteamUser = require('steam-user');
(() => {
const username = `USERNAMEHERE`;
const password = `PASSWORDHERE`;
console.log(`Enabling 2FA for account ${username}`);
let client = new SteamUser();
client.logOn({
accountName: username,
password: password,
});
client.on('loggedOn', (_details) => {
console.log('Logged into Steam as ' + client.steamID.getSteam3RenderedID());
client.enableTwoFactor((err, response) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
return;
}
if (response.status != SteamUser.EResult.OK) {
console.error(`EResult: ${response.status}`);
return;
}
const responseJSON = JSON.stringify(response, null, 4);
console.log(`\n${responseJSON}\n`);
const rl = readline.createInterface({
input: process.stdin,
output: process.stdout,
});
rl.question(`Steam Guard Code: `, (code) => {
console.log(`Code used: ${code}!`);
rl.close();
client.finalizeTwoFactor(response.shared_secret, code, (err) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
return;
}
console.log(`2FA enabled, save JSON string for recovery!`);
});
});
});
});
})();
Screenshots and Error Logs
➜ steam-totp-enabler git:(main) ✗ node index.js
Enabling 2FA for account [REDACTED]
Logged into Steam as [U:1:REDACTED]
EResult: 2
Any ideas what can cause EResult = 2?
I was using the same script (like 8-9 months before) and it always was working without a single issue, today I wanted to enable Steam Guard on one of my accounts and faced this issue.
