Steam Guard export QR Code
Steam Mobile Authenticator secret extraction. You can scan and verify one, but you won't find it in our generator.
What is a Steam Guard export QR code?
This code carries the secret needed to move Steam Guard's mobile authenticator from one device to another.
Who issues it
Valve's Steam Mobile app generates this code, on your own device, when you start a Steam Guard transfer.
The standard behind it
This is Steam's own transfer mechanism, not a published or public standard.
Why you can't generate this here
The code contains live secret material (2FA seeds, a vault export, a private key or bearer token). Generating one would mint or leak a real secret, so we refuse by design.
You can still scan and verify one with our free QR checker.
Frequently asked
Can I make a Steam Guard export QR code with a generator?
No, deliberately. It would mean handling a live authentication secret for someone's Steam account, exactly the kind of secret a generator shouldn't touch.
Can I check whether one I received is genuine?
There's nothing to verify against a third party. Use Steam's own app to move your authenticator between your own devices.
