Steam Desktop Authenticator

Steam Desktop Authenticator is an custom built app that allows you to have 2fa app on your desktop and also access the files
Configure the account on the SDA and remove encryption, go to the maFiles folder and find the account with the steam64id that you want to get codes of. Ones you have the codes i recommend to put back encryption on the authenticator, write encryption key somewhere in physical form where you know you wont lose it, otherwise next time you want to do smth with the authenticator you would need to reset it causing the account to have 15 days trade ban penalty
Ones you have the codes don't share them with anyone
