This is what I get for switching from Ubuntu to mint and trying to use steam.

    I wish they would just use a standard otp algorithm and I could easily use any auth app instead of a dedicated one

      KeepassXC (a PC application) has a preset for Steam OTP parameters, if your Android/iOS app of choice allows you to use non-standard parameters I guess it should be possible to use them?

      The only somewhat painful part for me was actually getting the OTP secret.

        Thank you for this tip! I saw your comment and I checked my 2FA app, Aegis, and it has a “Steam” option as well!

        (When creating an entry, you can just select “Type: Steam” instead of “TOTP”)

        i finally managed to extract the OTP secret.

        OMG, WTF. So needlessly hard. If Epic Store did the same of Valve for their OTP, the forums would be filled with hate and outrage
