Steam Credentials

SGI needs your Steam credentials for the Card Farming and Trading Card Manager features

This allows SGI to verify which of your games have card drops remaining, as well as managing your Steam market listings

Do not share these credentials with anyone

These credentials allow limited access to your Steam account, but they do not allow access to changing your password, email address, or other sensitive information

You must get your cookies from https://steamcommunity.com/  and not https://store.steam.com/
