Hey davidolrik:

Thanks for the feedback! As someone with way too many games in my Steam account, I can definitely see how it would be handy to have everything in one place. However, this is something that we've discussed before internally, and as it currently stands, it's something we're unlikely to do.

Because Valve is expecting that the authenticator app is the one that they've released, they may make changes that may render our algorithm inaccurate and potentially lock you out of your account. If Valve wants you to use their Steam mobile app for two factor authentication, we think we should respect their decision.
