Valve announced its decision to use SMS verification for devs. The news was announced following a report on hackers stealing Steam dev credentials and using it to upload malware to games. According to news, several game demos were affected until now.

Steam officials stated "We wanted to give everyone a heads up on some important changes to how builds will be managed in Steamworks, along with adding new users to your Steamworks partner. As part of a security update, any Steamworks account setting builds live on the default/public branch of a released app will need to have a phone number associated with their account, so that Steam can text you a confirmation code before continuing. The same will be true for any Steamworks account that needs to add new users. This change will go live on October 24, 2023, so be sure to add a phone number to your account now. We also plan on adding this requirement for other Steamworks actions in the future."
