Steam Guard Notes

Steam Guard is not normal numeric TOTP. Use --type steam, or import an otpauth:// URI with issuer=Steam or a Steam: label. The CLI then emits Steam's 5-character code format.

Original Windows GUI

The upstream Windows GUI releases remain at winauth/winauth releases. This fork's maintained release target is the command-line package above.
