Valve / Steam / Steam Machines, General Discussion v2.0- "Is Steam Down again?"

So what, do I gotta force a whitelist in it or something?
For 3 hours now I've been completely unable to log into my Steam account via the client. This is the message that shows up:

Steam obviously isn't down, and logging in on the website itself via browser works normally.
It also doesn't depend on the computer the client is on because the same thing happens on 4 different machines. In fact anyone could probably try connecting to my account without a password and still get a connection error message.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? I don't want to contact Steam support because that's usually like talking to a brick wall.

Try running Steam with the -tcp startup flag

This happens to me and I just keep trying, if it doesn't work I stop for like 3 minutes and I try again, it usually works.

I'm gonna try this next time.
It works again, took 5 hours though for it to revert to normal
I find steam does that to me quite often, especially if I don't let it remember my account password for some reason. Usually retrying one or two times works. Steam works (or doesn't work) in mysterious ways.

Valve is setting up appointments for the press at GDC.
Steam Machines related of course.

It's only been six months since we last heard of this
[quote=https://steamdb.info/blog/steam-store-v6-peek/]On an unrelated note; two factor authentication
As you might know, SteamGuard is a 2-step authentication method, but this update brings alternative ways of authenticating besides email. The Steam Mobile app will have a built-in authenticator, but you can also use apps such as Google Authenticator (provided your phone has a camera to scan a QR code)[/quote]

Clearly they tested it for 5 months.
Heh.
Testers decided it was too confusing, most useful functionality removed.

Actually I hope they used that time to actually make the mobile experience a positive one.
Website and application is a piece of shit

I'm having a weird issue with Steam where it's saying that my most recently played games are games that I haven't played in a while, or games that I don't own (I just double checked and they're games that are running free weekends, but I haven't installed them). The most recent games I can actually remember playing are Dota 2, Dota 2 Test, Warframe, Stranded Deep, and Starbound. However, my list (when I click the system tray icon) is showing the list as Sven Co-op, Black Mesa, NBA 2K15 (free weekend), Total War: Rome II Additional Depots (free weekend), and Company of Heroes 2 (again, free weekend). Is this a bug with Steam or what? Sven Co-op and Black Mesa remain at the top of the list regardless of anything - even if I boot a game, they'll stay as most recent.

It's a bug that Valve (assumedly) dealt with in the [url=http://steamcommunity.com/groups/SteamClientBeta#announcements/detail/205248328777818004]most recent client beta update[/url]:
[quote]General
Fixed free weekend games and other free complimentary licenses from showing up in recent games list unexpectedly without playtime
Broadcast
Added option to record only game audio (default)
Broadcasts are now more resilient to failures with system audio recording
Improved mixing of game/system audio and microphone
Don’t show Broadcast notifications in-game if user is offline
Audio from games that require exclusive access to the sound card can be recorded when using the record only game audio setting.
Virtual Reality Mode
Fixed a bug where the Steam client could crash when launching certain VR games.
Workshop
Fixed a bug publishing a Workshop item with a preview image when using an external tool.
In-Home Streaming
Optimized slice encoding for client decoding capabilities[/quote]
does the word Tenfoot actually mean anything?
What's different about it than using other locations?
