  1. Install Obtainium from F-Droid to manage app downloads and updates

  2. Go to Obtainium -> Add app

  3. Paste the URL of the official download page: https://store.steampowered.com/mobile. Remember to always check that you're using an official and safe link to a webpage or supported source

  4. In field "Custom APK Link Filter by Regular Expression", write the pattern under which Steam uploads its app. This is important because "/mobile" page has 3 different apps. The pattern is: /steam-android/steam-(.*).apk$

  5. (Optional). To improve update detection, paste "/steam-android/steam-(.*).apk$" (w/o quiotation marks) to "Version String Extraction RegEx" and write "$1" into "Match Group…"

  6. Use Steam

I know that this doesn't apply to everyone, but if you only need Steam for the authenticator, there is a better alternative: https://help.ente.io/auth/migration-guides/steam/

You can use the steamguard CLI tool to extract the 2FA seed, and import it in a FOSS TOTP app like Aegis or ente Auth
