There are a couple of ways to unlink your phone number from Steam. If your original phone has been lost, you can request Steam to send messages to a replacement number. Once this is done, you can recover your account. Otherwise, you can follow the steps below to recover your account. You can also request Steam to send SMS messages to a replacement phone number if you have lost it. In either case, you need to change your phone number first.

Discord accounts don’t exist without a phone number
You may have noticed that your Discord account doesn’t exist unless you have a valid phone number on Steam. This is not the end of the world. Although the verification is designed to keep scammers and spammers from stealing your identity, it can also make your account more susceptible to hackers. The good news is that you can regain control of your account if your phone number is removed. However, you should keep in mind that this may delete all your data on Discord.
As a result, there are many people who claim their Discord accounts are fake. However, this is a common misconception. Discord has a few reasons why this happens. One of the reasons is that Discord’s account verification process is a lot more stringent than it used to be. In addition, Discord has a long history of banning content that is offensive. If you have any doubts about whether or not your Discord account is fake, it’s best to contact Discord’s support team to ask them about it. Discord has worked hard to prevent this issue, but there is still plenty of room for improvement.
Discord accounts are protected by Steam Guard Authenticator
If you are concerned about the security of your Discord account, you can use the two-factor authentication (also known as 2FA) feature to keep it safe. This system sends a temporary code to your mobile phone each time you log into your account. Once you input this code into your Discord account, the application will not allow you to access your account. However, you must enable this feature to use Discord.
You can use these authentication apps to protect your Discord account. Download the Discord app and install the Steam Guard Authenticator. Once installed, follow the instructions provided by the app. Then, scan the QR code or input the code in the authenticator. After that, Discord will activate 2FA protection. You can use the same method to protect your account on both Android and iOS devices. However, make sure that you have installed the Steam Guard Authenticator app on both devices before you enable 2FA protection.
Discord accounts are automatically deactivated if they aren’t linked to a valid phone number
You might be wondering why your Discord account has been automatically deactivated, if it’s not linked to a valid phone number from Steam. The reason is simple: Discord’s program has set up its system so that accounts that are not linked to a valid phone number are automatically deactivated. The easiest solution is to change your email address and password. Alternatively, you can contact Discord’s Trust and Safety department, which will respond to your request with a decision in no time.
If you don’t want to use your Discord account on Steam, the best way to avoid this problem is to log out and sign in again. While this fix is temporary, the permanent solutions are outlined below. If you’re using a desktop computer, you can log out by clicking the User Settings icon in the lower left corner of the screen and then scrolling down to Log Out. You’ll need to confirm the action. This may take several attempts.
Using Steam Guard Authenticator
You may have heard of the Steam Guard mobile authenticator, but you’re probably wondering if it’s really useful. Steam Guard essentially blocks access to your Steam profile and requires that you enter an access code every time you start a session. This is quite annoying, but you can disable this feature and continue using your phone normally. To do so, follow these steps. You’ll need your phone and Steam account to do this.
After setting up the mobile authenticator, you’ll need to use it to verify your phone number. Once you’ve added it, you’ll need to wait for the Authenticator to send you a code. Once you receive it, enter it into the Steam app and wait for it to expire. If you forget the code, you’ll get an error message. If your phone is not compatible with the Steam Guard, you can still use the mobile authenticator to access your account.
Disabling Steam Guard Authenticator
Disabling Steam Guard Authenticator to remove your phone number from your Steam account can be tricky. You will first need to enter your current password and recovery code. Then you will need to click on the item corresponding to your phone number and follow the steps on the screen. You will be prompted to enter the password and recovery code that was generated during Steam Guard creation. Once you have entered these details, you can proceed to the next step.
Alternatively, you can choose to disable the Steam Guard Authenticator by going to the settings page and following the instructions. If you cannot remember the code or you do not have a cell phone, the steps to remove the authentication tool are the same as those to disable it. You can also enable or disable Steam Guard on your device. If you do not have an Android or iPhone, you can enable this option on your phone.
