Description
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
I just can't log in with MobileWebAuth(),cli_login() It reporting to be successful but in practice trying to call anything that needs to be logged in resolves in program crashes with error of being unauthorized / not logged in

Steps to Reproduce the behavior
(Include debug logs if possible and relevant)
create variable = MobileWebAuth(username="USERNAME",password="PASSWORD")
do that variable.cli_login() and enter 2fa code / accept in-app and press enter
call something login dependent for eg variable.status() and try to print it
error
Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Is this with the bleeding edge of the master branch? We haven't had a proper version bump from 1.6.1 in some time since there's some stuff still in flux

[VoidDave]

I installed it few days ago with cutting age from master ... Should i downgrade to stable 1.6.1?

[asdfmonster261]

I am not sure how to help with the logins with the latest version of the library as I am actually also having problems with that in my own script, however reverting to 376dd56 fixed it for me for now

pip install git+https://github.com/solsticegamestudios/steam@376dd565cf3da420b5add46c6c0682eb11c40b33 --force-reinstall

[WinterPhoenix]

Yeah, don't use the bleeding edge of master for the moment. We're updating a bunch of stuff to prep for v2.0.0

[WinterPhoenix]

Okay. Update for the current state off of master.

WebAuth should work.

MobileWebAuth hasn't been reworked post-WebAuth update, so I'm not sure how stable that is.

SteamClient...doesn't work? Not sure what's wrong with it. In both TCP and Websocket modes, Steam servers just don't respond. Not sure if that's a me problem or a problem with the code. We'll figure it out eventually, but it might take some time.

v2.0.0 probably won't be released until we've figured out SteamClient and MobileWebAuth, but we might do like a "-alpha" version release along the way.

[VoidDave]

Im not sure is it my foult or what but this simple code still results in error. Meaby I'm doing something wrong. if yes pls say what I'm doing wrong (I cant find anything useful in this case in documentation)

`from steam.guard import *

wa = MobileWebAuth(username="USERNAME",password="PASSWORD")
wa.cli_login()
sa = SteamAuthenticator(backend=wa)
output=sa.status()

print(output)`

Hello! Trying to login (either anonymously or with my actual account) throws an AttributeError error. I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but I figure this is a good place to mention it.

Here's the error from c4d6edd from my NixOS environment, when trying to login via https://github.com/sean-who/steamarchiver
I did have to apply a patch to use urllib3 v2.3.0 (by swapping urllib3<2 for urllib3>2 on https://github.com/solsticegamestudios/steam/blob/master/setup.py#L19 ) - See below.

Error from get_depot_keys in SteamArchiver:

$  python3 get_depot_keys.py

@Whovian9369 setup.py wasn't synced with requirements.txt it doesn't look like. Maybe give it a shot now, with the latest off of master?

[Whovian9369]

Seem to run into the same error but was able to remove the patch. (Instead adding one that swaps cachetools>=5.5.2 for cachetools>=5.5.0 to build on my environment.)
So it doesn't quite fix the issue, but it fixes the dependencies. Small steps at least, haha! Thank you, @WinterPhoenix!

[KodingDev]

Protobuf update in this commit seems to have prefixed it with OBSOLETE_ 77eeb98

https://github.com/solsticegamestudios/steam/blame/cbb0c416beb0eef08ef4ae6c0d07db02ee95ad81/protobufs/steammessages_clientserver_appinfo.proto#L75

Should be good to just remove it then?

[WinterPhoenix]

I removed supports_package_tokens from that request; let's see what that does

[Whovian9369]

That seems to have fixed it for me. Thank you so so much, Winter!

[WinterPhoenix]

Excellent, glad to hear it!
