Security problems with Steam have been reported.
You're encountering a common issue with Steam's mobile security settings. It seems the platform is blocking SMS communication, which prevents you from using the mobile security feature. Since you're new to PC gaming, try checking your device's network settings or contacting Steam support for guidance on resolving this restriction.
You can open a support case with Steam, but it may take some time. It’s challenging to get the mobile security or Steam app functioning smoothly since once it works it becomes your primary way of managing your account. Every transaction and login from that app relies on you authenticating. If you need help, be ready to provide thorough details to confirm it’s your account. From what I understand, there’s no other option—losing my 12-year-old Steam account happened because I couldn’t verify ownership, forcing me to create a new one about five years ago, which was really frustrating.
