Signing In With Steam: Verified Scans and Your Profile
Why signing in matters, how the sign-in works without sharing your password, and what changes in the app and on the website.
Updated · 1 min read · by the AACGUARD team
You can scan without signing in, but signing in with Steam makes your results more trustworthy and unlocks your profile. This guide explains how it works and what it changes.
How the sign-in works
Press Sign in in the app or in the tray menu. Your browser opens aacguard.com, which sends you to Steam's own login page. You log in there, Steam confirms your account to aacguard.com, and the app is signed in. AACGUARD never sees your Steam password or your Steam Guard codes.
What changes when you are signed in
- Verified results. Your scans and your AACGuard Live status are marked verified, so nobody can upload scans under your name and admins can trust that the result is yours.
- Your profile in the app. You see your avatar, your AACGUARD scan totals and your CS stats (FACEIT and Premier) in the app.
- Your website profile. On aacguard.com you get a profile page you can share, with your CS2, CS:GO and FACEIT stats, your AACGUARD history and your badges.
- PRO. If you have AACGUARD PRO, the app knows it only when you are signed in (for example for the higher daily upload limit).
Without signing in
Scans still work. They are listed under the Steam account that is logged in on the PC, and Live statuses are marked not verified. Some servers only accept verified results, so signing in is worth the ten seconds it takes.
Signing out
Use Sign out in the app, or log out on the website. Signing out on one PC does not affect your scans: they stay linked to your SteamID.
