Remove a game from your account

Sometimes hiding a game from your library isn’t enough to hide the sin.

1. Find the game in your Steam library
2. Click on Support
3. Select I want to permanently remove this game from my account
4. Confirm that you want to lose access to everything in the package the game came in and click on Ok, remove the listed games from my account permanently

If you change your mind and want the game back,

1. Find the support page for the game
   1. Go to the Games and Applications section of Steam support and search for the game.
   2. If it doesn’t show up, the game might have been delisted from Steam. Search for the game on SteamDB and make note of the appid, then navigate to https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithGame/?appid=, adding the appid to the end of the URL
2. Select It’s not in my library
3. Select Restore the previously removed package to my account

Just like removing a game, adding a game back to your account will restore everything in the package.

Extract Steam TOTP secret

This method requires Steam Authenticator to be installed and activated on an Android device with root access.

Open /data/data/com.valvesoftware.android.steam.community/files/Steamguard-*/ as a JSON file. The uri property contains an optauth:// URI including the secret.

If you have a sed installed (e.g. from Busybox), you can run this with an on-device terminal emulator or adb shell to get the optauth:// URI:

sed 's/\\\//\//g; s/.*"\(otpauth\:[^"]*\).*/\1\n/' /data/data/com.valvesoftware.android.steam.community/files/Steamguard-*
