Pretty sure you have another device registered with Authenticator here, and it is asking you to verify against that.

It would be bad if somebody could just steal your username/password and then register their own MFA, right?

Glad to hear I’m not the only person abusing that run dialogue box.

Please don’t use that guide. That’s the old 2.x line of SteamOS which hasn’t been updated since 2019 and is based on a very old version of Debian. The SteamOS that the deck uses is 3.x and has also moved from Debian to Arch. Valve really needs to update that page.

If you want to build your own SteamOS machine, take a look at something like HoloISO (https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso) which is built on the current branch of SteamOS with the deck-exclusive OS/hardware items swapped out for standard kit.

Not today and hopefully never for general forum purposes. Worse case, you get somebody that necros an old post akin to responding to an old email chain, or replying to an old forum thread. Usually not a big deal but sometimes it also sparks new discussions if that post/thread had some meaningful content.

Edit: Actually I think @FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world had the best idea. Would be a great option depending on the forum / poster’s need. There are some good reasons when you want to “mark a thread as closed”… like bug reports, project tasks, etc. But I feel the default behavior should be to keep post / threads open.

Hmm. I just checked and have no problems logging into amazon.co.jp from the US. I’m still presented with their international shipping options and currency conversion too… so I think you may have something going on with your browser.

Try the usual things like cleaning the cache or even a different browser.
