Steam Guard approval during a Deadlock boost
How Steam Guard approval and encrypted credential handoff work for a Deadlock solo boost, including what buyers should keep ready after checkout.
For a solo Deadlock boost, submit credentials only after checkout, then keep order chat open. Steam may ask you to approve the booster login in the Steam mobile app or share a one-time code.

Why Steam Guard matters
When a booster signs in from a new device or location, Steam may require approval from the account owner. That can mean a mobile confirmation, an email code, or another Steam Guard prompt.
The safest plan is to stay reachable in order chat after checkout. If Steam asks for approval, the booster can message you immediately instead of waiting around.
How the handoff works here
After payment, solo buyers submit Steam credentials on the order confirmation page. The credentials are encrypted at rest and only the assigned booster can reveal them server-side.
Credentials are not posted to Discord and are not exposed to public browser requests. They are also cleared after the retention window or when the order is fully refunded or closed.
Buyer checklist
Before the boost starts, make sure you can access your Steam email, Steam mobile app, and order chat. If you use family sharing, VPN restrictions, or unusual account locks, tell the booster before they attempt login.
Do not approve random login attempts outside the order window. Wait for the assigned booster to confirm they are starting.
FAST ANSWERS
Do I have to disable Steam Guard?
No. Keep Steam Guard enabled. The normal flow is approving the login or sharing a one-time code through order chat when the assigned booster is ready.
Should I send Steam recovery codes?
No. Never send Steam recovery codes. A booster only needs the normal login approval or a one-time Steam Guard code.
Where are credentials stored?
Credentials are encrypted at rest and only the assigned booster can reveal them server-side after claiming the order.
