Alternatively, you can skip using the camera and use the mobile app to bypass the Steam Guard code requirement when logging in on PC. The system authenticates your login attempt using the two-factor authentication (2FA) codes stored on your smartphone. Valve explains you can use your phone’s camera to scan a QR code on Steam for PC and log in, just like linking a device on WhatsApp. One of the biggest non-visual changes is the new QR code-based login system for desktop. You can browse the Steam store, purchase titles, read gamer news, and interact with the community, all from within the app. There are similarities with the Steam desktop app plenty of users are accustomed to. The app even lets you apply filters when searching for titles, and you can even use it to install games remotely or update titles installed on your PC, a pre-existing feature, but always handy. Valve has gone for a Netflix-style library interface for a familiar feel, where all the games you own show up in rows of three.

Once you update to the latest version of the Steam app, you’ll be treated to a striking redesigned UI (via The Verge).
