/citrix-receiver-for-chrome-download.html. My brother and I share the same PC, but we each have our own Steam accounts. Before Steam mobile authentication was introduced, we did the good old trick of adding the -login %u %p parameters to two different shortcuts of Steam, allowing each of us to switch accounts easily without re-entering passwords each time.

Do I have to download the game again if I want to play Runes of Magic via Steam? Once either a new Runes of Magic Steam account has been created or your existing one has been linked to Steam, the launcher will start normally like the standalone client and offer you the choice of region and language. Switching to Steam is optional. If I or someone else wants to play a game on the other account, just go to the 'switch user' on the Steam menu, log out, and log in to the other account. I don't think Steam has worked all the bugs out of the 2 steam accounts/1 PC thing. I wouldn't do it. Homerboy Lifer. Question Steam Download Setting/Changes: PC Games: 3.

1. Switching between steam accounts deletes workshop subscription data So, I use 2 steam accounts, one for Dota and one for my other games. I've been playing Dota 2 reborn on my Dota account, which means I've subscribed to all my game modes on that account.

5. How do I link or unlink my console, Steam or Facebook profiles to my Ubisoft. A Uplay-enabled game on your console, and either create a Ubisoft Account.

Now, with the mobile authentication, we have to enter a mobile code each time one of us logs in, regardless of whether or not we use two different shortcuts.

The only way to overcome this is by checking the 'remember me' box, but this will only work if you've one account, because once you log out, it will ask for the code next time you log in.

Is there anyway to overcome this by making Steam remember the PC or something? It truly is stressful to be forced to have my mobile on me whenever I need to use Steam.

You say you both use the same Windows account.

Create a new account for your brother. Login to steam with his account information. Sign in back as your shared account. Create a new shortcut to steam and change the command to

(make sure to use the full path to Steam.exe from the original shortcut)

Now, when your brother wants to use his Steam account, all he has to do is close Steam, and run it again through this shortcut.

Do note that Steam will use the new windows profile, so if your brother has games that store configuration or saved games in the user profile, he will need to copy them over to the new account.

The @Luaan's answer seems like a cool workaround. It suggests to create a 'fake' second Windows account and don't use it. I think that you should take one step further, and actually use that second account! Don't you have similar issues with other stuff, like web browser and Facebook, or Skype? Don't you need to endlessly log-in-and-out from various apps and services? The popular way for using same PC by two different people is to have separate Windows user accounts. It's really quite a lightweight solution and I think that nowadays you will be even able to switch profiles without closing your open windows. You can share any data you like, it's not an issue. You will have your own wallpaper, your own shortcuts, you will be always logged in to your Facebook, Skype, and the most important, Steam.

Summing up: to switch between 2 Steam accounts on one PC without having to enter mobile code every time, just switch the Windows account.

I got it working thanks to Reddit u/psxsquall.

The way around it works by using Steam's Big Picture Mode.

You use it and login with both accounts and tick the 'remember me' button in Big Picture Mode, confirm with the phone codes once, and then when you log out (only through Big Picture Mode) it allows you to switch users without asking for password/phone codes.

TL;DR: Use Big Picture Mode to sign out, but make sure never to sign out from the normal Steam interface (you can still exit steam normally) and only through the Big Picture interface.

That's the purpose of a two-factor (i.e. mobile) authentication.

The workarounds I am aware of is to either:

• Remove the mobile authentication entirely, or
• Use the 'Family Share' function to use games from both accounts, while only logged in to one account.

It seems there are some better workarounds other than these two but these are also viable alternatives.

Luaan's answer is great, but things have changed a bit.

1. Create a new user in Windows
   • Settings > Family & other people > Add someone else to this PC > I don't have this person's sign-in information > Add a user without a Microsoft account
   • Choose a one-word username for simplicity (say, 'Bob')
   • Leave the password blank (yes, Windows will let you do this)
2. Login as that user, open Steam, login with the new account
3. Switch back to your normal user. Copy and paste the desktop Steam shortcut so now you have two copies of it.
4. Rename the new shortcut to the new username ('Bob' in this example) so you know which is which.
5. Right click on the new shortcut and select Properties.
6. Change Target to %windir%system32runas.exe /user:Bob /savecred 'C:Program Files (x86)SteamSteam.exe'
   • Change 'Bob' to your new username
   • If you didn't install Steam in the default location, then change C:Program Files (x86)SteamSteam.exe to wherever Steam is installed on your computer. If you're not sure, look at the properties of the original Steam shortcut.
7. Tell windows to allow blank passwords:
   • Search for regedit in the Start Menu. It's also called 'Windows Registry' or 'Registry Explorer'
   • Copy and paste this into the address bar at the top: ComputerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001ControlLsa
   • Double click on LimitBlankPasswordUse on the right
   • Change the 1 to a 0
   • Close the registry editor

Now when you double click on the new Steam shortcut it should be logged in with the second Steam account, and the original shortcut will still be on the first account.

You can't have both open at once, and if you need to switch between the two you have to completely exit Steam by clicking Steam > Exit, or by right clicking the Steam icon in the Windows taskbar (bottom right) and clicking Exit.

I'm not totally sure this is the correct place for this issue but, it directly affects Proton.

If you change the global proton version or the game specific proton version, it will not attempt to download the specified proton. Even if you verify the games integrity, which used to work, or just turn steam proton off globally then turn it back on.

If you had multiple proton versions installed previously, swapping between them works just fine.

If you delete the proton folder found under ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/ then, it will not attempt to re-download proton if you use the game integrity checker or switch proton on and then back on within the steam settings.

The new feature of per-game 'Proton version select by Valve testing' also, does not download proton. (In fact, this is how I encounter the issue.)

The only way I'm able to get Proton downloaded is to opt out of the Steam beta, get proton then, opt back in.
