How do I connect my Steam account?

You can connect Steam in two ways:

  1. Login via Steam — tap “Login via Steam” and sign in through Steam’s own login page inside the app. Your Steam ID and Web API key are captured automatically.
  2. Enter manually — tap “Enter manually” and enter your Steam ID (find it, or resolve it from your custom “vanity URL”, using the lookup tool linked on the connect screen) and a Steam Web API key, which you generate yourself at steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey.

Important: your Steam profile privacy settings for “My Profile”, “Game Details” and total playtime must be set to Public, otherwise Achievement Collector cannot read your games and achievements. Generating a Web API key requires the Steam Mobile Authenticator to be enabled on your account. If you also want friend-related features, your friends list needs to be set to Public as well.

You can also connect Steam after onboarding, from Connect Steam in Settings, which opens the same sign-in flow.
