Sharing Steam 2FA with a team (with Kaito)
Kaito gives you a vault for shared TOTP and a real-time inbox for shared SMS, with per-token group permissions and an audit log on every code view. To share Steam access with your team:
- In Kaito, go to Tokens → New and add the Steam 2FA seed (or scan the QR).
- Permission the token to a group:
code-onlyfor most teammates,full-seedonly for the admins who would handle rotation. - Stream the audit log to your SIEM if you want a complete record of which team members generated codes for Steam and when.
Note: Steam's terms on account sharing are unclear or grey-area. Many teams share access in practice; doing so via Kaito gives you a clean audit trail if it ever becomes a question.
