The day you turn steam guard off
So you get a laptop and you dont want to put the code in to log into your account, you turn off your steam guard and you play your games *tf2 for me* and christmas is here so i get some crates and think "Oh boy i can get some scrap metal for these" and to my delight i cant but i gotta wait till christmas is over so my christmas is ruined..

Yeah I have to admit there should be some kind of warning about trading when you disable Steam Guard.

Not sure why Valve didn't update the text on the Steam Guard management dialog to reflect the latest changes in the Steam Trading feature.

If they say that "please put your password in again to verify your user" then sure i can do that easy

Actually they did give the warning since the beginning of December....that was like a week before this new policy is effective.

Sadly, Valve is kinda slow in updating their tech articles and client dialogues.
Free users still get the generic 'Your friend list is full' error when trying to add friends (Instead of a warning telling them why they can't add friends)
Also the Steamguard warning was displayed on the trading window. A warning on the Client itself would have been better. Not everybody trades, but everybody uses the client.

A warning when disabling Steamguard would be lovely. People have to be aware of what they lose if they deactivate it.

I fail to see how it is easier to go to another computer to turn off SteamGuard than input a simple code.

If you could turn off steamguard from an unauthorized computer steam has some major security issues to fix.
