Steam Credentials
SGI needs your Steam credentials for the Card Farming and Inventory Manager features.
Steam credentials are used to verify which of your games have card drops remaining, as well as fetching and listing your inventory items on the Steam market.
SGI offers both a Manual Method and an Automated Method (PRO) for providing your Steam credentials.
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.steampowered.com/
Manual Method
