I recently read an article about "bloodystealer" and got to thinking I should better secure my Steam account. It seems the universal answer (short of not downloading cracked games or using questionable links) is to use Steam Guard, with the 2FA using an app on your phone. I have an iPhone11...

Steam won't allow me to download any games to my HDD and won't automatically start Wallpaper Engine without exiting Steam and then running via Admin which is a bit annoying. Is there any way I can make it so Steam always runs as Admin?
