Steam Mobile Authenticator not working?
So due to steam requiring the mobile authenticator for trades I got it about a month ago. It's a pain but I don't trade often, just use it when I log in the steam. Recently I tried to use a Jackpot site and it said I hadn't used my authenticator for 7 days and the trade would be held for 72 hours. Which obviously doesn't work in a jackpot. However, I traded completely fine without a wait or anything a couple days ago, but the trade was through steam. Now all my trades are still held for 72 hours, in steam or out of steam. This has been frustrating me for the longest time! If anyone knows how to fix this I would love you!
