Got an update for you guys!
As part as my regular "change important passwords (mailbox, bank accounts, huge gaming platforms with thousands of games :p) regularly", I performed the following steps yesterday:
- Disable Steam Guard
- Change my Steam password (to something equally long and complicated as before)
- Re-enable Steam Guard
Without thinking about it, I was on the couch yesterday, did the dreaded Steam login to play DOS2, played for a bit, switched to another game, the switched to DOS2 again and ... I didn't have to login again? I verified by restarting my console: my "always having to login" problem is gone.
I can't for the life of me figure out how changing my Steam password influenced this problem (maybe my +1yr old password - yes, the shame - was stored in a ... different way in the Steam Auth API?) Nothing else in my environment has changed: it's still the same Switch hardware on the same network, with the same Steam account, on the same game install.
So, to the other people in this thread (who probably aren't around anymore, but still): Try changing your Steam password to something new and fresh.
