The secret question is an important part of the site security system. Change passwords, security levels, removal of modules - all this is possible only if the correct answer is knowledgeable. Perhaps when you were registered in Steam, you choose a secret question and even somewhere recorded the answer to it so as not to forget. But in connection with the updates and development of the style, the ability to choose or change the secret question disappeared. In this article we will consider, in connection with which the protection system has changed.
Why removed the secret question in the style
After the emergence of the Steam Guard's mobile application, there is no longer need to use the secret question. After all, after you tie the account to the phone number and install the application, all actions you can confirm through your mobile device. Now, if you need to prove that you are the owner of the account, you will be informed that the unique code is sent to your phone number, and a special field will appear where this code must be entered.
Using the Steam Guard application as a mobile authenticator fully displaced such a way of protection as a secret question. The authenticator is more efficient protection. It generates a code that will need to enter each time you enter your STEAM account. The code is changing every 30 seconds, it can only be used once, and it cannot be guess.
