It isn't, but keepassxc e.g. still works perfectly fine. Yet, SDA was very helpful for a looong time.
How exactly does keepassxc help? It's just a password manager. Even if it does 2fa, Steam doesn't provide secrets to export.
Now I'm unsure and can't check coz I'm not at home near my pc. But it seems to still work. I just login so rarely (because i never logout and the pc is always on)
I quote some random user:
"The Steam TOTP feature is why I chose KeePassXC, and still works great. The only thing people have to do is use a program like mentioned above (Steam Desktop Authenticator) to grab your steam account's shared secret, then convert from Base64 -> Hex, and then from Hex to Base32."
I hate the steam app and don't want to use a stupid app for everything. If neither SDA nor keepassxc work anymore I'd be forced to remove 2fa 😒
And on top of that, they still want your phone number which I hate
Oh yes... F that
