Steam Credentials
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.
Steam Credentials are a separate set of Steam Community session cookies used only by Card Farming and Inventory Manager to check card drops and list items on the marketplace
Users using Steam Sign-in with a Gamer tier subscription do not need to manually enter their Steam credentials.
You must get your cookies from https://steamcommunity.com/ and not https://store.steampowered.com/
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
This will not work if you have Family View enabled on your Steam account. You must disable Family View to use this method.
