Steam aims to save its users a great deal of trouble. The application, which is among the largest digital platforms in the gaming world, draws attention with its strict security measures. Valve, which wants to modernize its system, takes the first step.
According to some images that emerged, the application will facilitate user logins. While logging in, account holders will be able to scan QR code via the mobile application.
Steam will pave the way for login with QR code
This feature, which is eagerly awaited and requested by users, has not yet been released. However, SteamDB founder Pavel Djundik has reached an important leak. Taking a kind of console screen, Djundik revealed Valve’s plans. In the image where the codes of the Steam mobile application are included, the second and third lines attract attention. Because in these areas, the option to log in with a QR code appears.
According to the leak, which received positive feedback from users, this feature will be offered with the Steam Deck. Because the handheld console, which does not have a physical keyboard, will not bother the players with the Steam Guard code. Although the device has a touch screen, it is also possible to make more effortless entries with QR code scanning.
The platform, which has already implemented the double-authentication system and has been successful in security, will have done a similar job with the QR code. In addition, the system can be an important alternative to the old-fashioned, e-mail login verification structure. In this way, the inboxes of those who do not double-authenticate via Steam Guard can be saved from unnecessary fillings.
Although the system is intended for Steam Deck, desktop users will also be able to take advantage of this feature. Because Valve will benefit from this opportunity with the update. Big Picture mode is also expected to change with the launch of Steam Decks in December. It is on the agenda that the QR code login feature will be offered in this period. Let’s see if Steam will be able to offer an experience as users expect. We’ll wait and see.
