Removing Steam Guard ​

Confirmation of removal

Removing Steam Guard deletes the mobile authenticator from the account.

After the operation completes, Steam Guard stops working and a trade hold is applied to the account.


Before you start ​

Removal requires a revocation code (RCode).

It is automatically stored in the maFile when linking or transferring Steam Guard.

If the RCode is missing, NebulaAuth cannot remove Steam Guard.


How to remove Steam Guard ​

  1. Select the account
  2. Click Account → Unlink
  3. Confirm the action

If the operation succeeds:

  • Steam Guard will be removed
  • a 15-day hold is applied to trades and the Market
  • the maFile will be moved to the maFiles_removed folder

More details: Trade hold


If it did not work ​

Try:

  • checking the account session
  • using Account → Login
  • trying the removal again

If the maFile is lost or the RCode in it is invalid, contact Steam Support to restore access to the account.


Deleting an account, maFile ​

Deleting an account in NebulaAuth is a separate action.

When deleting:

  • the maFile is moved to the maFiles_removed folder
  • the account disappears from the list

Important

This does not remove Steam Guard.

If Steam Guard is still linked, you can restore the account in NebulaAuth by importing the maFile again.


How to delete an account ​

  1. Select the account
  2. Menu → Remove
  3. Confirm the action

❓ Frequently asked questions ​

Why can't I unlink Steam Guard?

Unlinking needs revocation_code in the selected maFile.

Can I remove Steam Guard if there is no password and the session has expired?

No.

An active account session is required to remove Steam Guard through NebulaAuth.

If there is no session, use the RCode through "Forgot password" on the Steam website or contact support.

What should I do if both the maFile and the RCode are lost?

Contact Steam Support.

To restore access, you will need to prove account ownership using purchases, payments, and other account details.

Can I remove Steam Guard if the account is blocked?

It depends on the type of block.

  • with a trade ban or VAC ban, yes
  • with a red table warning, no, because account data cannot be changed.
