[DE]Danielle Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 As announced on Devstream 181, we’re improving the login experience for users that launch Warframe from Steam with the introduction of Account Binding and Auto-Login in the Koumei & The Five Fates update! This is accurate at the time of posting, if there are any changes they will be reflected in the Koumei & The Five Fates update patch notes. Edit: Before diving in, its important to note that Account Binding your Warframe and Steam account is OPTIONAL. You can still sign into Warframe from the Steam launch without having to bind your accounts. Account Binding Account Binding allows a Warframe account to bind to a Steam account, so that upon launching Warframe from Steam you do not need to input your credentials to log in. Instead, clicking the “Login With Steam” button will log you right into the game and bypass this step! What to Expect: After Koumei & The Five Fates goes live, when you launch Warframe from Steam and click the “Login With Steam” button you will be prompted to bind your Steam account to either: 1. An existing Warframe account OR 2. A new Warframe Account that’ll be automatically bound to the Steam account you are signed into Binding Existing Warframe Account: 1. Select the “Bind Existing” option to bind an existing Warframe account to the Steam account you are currently logged into. 2. Fill the email and password fields with the credentials associated with the Warframe account you want to bind to the Steam account you are currently logged into and hit “Confirm”. NOTE: Please check to make sure that you are linking the correct accounts (both your Warframe AND Steam account), as the link cannot be undone. TennoGuard Two-Factor Authentication is required to bind a Warframe account to protect against fraud and prevent someone from binding your Warframe account to the wrong Steam account. If you have TennoGuard enabled on the Warframe account you are attempting to bind, upon hitting “Confirm” you will be prompted to enter a code that was sent to your email. Once entered, you have completed the account binding process! If you have not enabled TennoGuard on the Warframe account you are attempting to bind, learn how to in our TennoGuard Two-Factor Authentication FAQ. Warframe accounts bound to Steam still adhere to the Cross Platform Save restrictions (more details in our FAQ). This new Account Binding system replaces the Steam Economy binding and operates the same way – meaning, in order to purchase TennoGen from the Steam Store (specifically from the website, in-game Market not impacted), you must bind a Warframe account to a Steam account. If you have bound a Warframe account to Steam Economy before Koumei & The Five Fates launches, you may encounter the following scenarios depending on the Warframe and Steam accounts you attempt to bind through the new Account Binding system launching the the update (expand spoilers): Spoiler Scenario A: If I have Steam account A already bound to Warframe account A with Steam Economy, but I go to bind Steam account A to Warframe account B, C, D. etc. after Koumei & The Five Fates launches, I will not be able to, and will receive an error and have to submit a ticket to support. This is because that Steam account is already bound to a Warframe account, and cannot be bound twice. Scenario B: If I have Steam account A already bound to Warframe account A with Steam Economy, but then I go to bind Steam Account B, C, D etc... to Warframe account A after Koumei & The Five Fates launches, I will not be able to, and will receive an error and have to submit a ticket to support. This is because that Warframe account is already bound to a Steam account, and cannot be bound twice. Scenario C: If I have Steam account A already bound to Warframe account A through Steam Economy before the update next week, I will NOT have issues with the new account binding system after Koumei & The Five Fates launches as long as I am binding Steam Account A to Warframe account A Note: Other purchases made from the Steam Store do not require you to bind to Steam Economy, only if you had specifically purchased TennoGen. Creating and Binding New Warframe Account: Select the “Create New” option to create a new Warframe account that will be bound to the Steam account you are currently logged into. You will be required to read and agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use and pick a display name. NOTE: Creating a new Warframe account via the Steam launcher will automatically bind it to the Steam account you are currently logged into. Please check to make sure you are linking the correct Steam account to the new Warframe account, as the link cannot be undone. NOTE: It’s important to keep in mind that Account Binding allows anyone to enter your Warframe account by clicking the “Login with Steam” button without having to input your credentials. We recommend that you log out of your Steam account while not in use to ensure account security – more information on how to protect your account in our “Best Practices for Account Security” support article. --- October 1st Edit: Here to share some more information on what to expect with the debut of Account Binding in tomorrow’s Koumei & the Five Fates launch. We saw some questions asking how multiple Steam accounts will work with Steam Wallet purchases and we wanted to clarify. For the purposes of account security and to ensure legitimate purchases are made from Steam-Warframe bound accounts, once you bind a Steam account to a Warframe account, that Steam account becomes the one account that can make Steam Wallet purchases for the bound Warframe account. In other words, once you have bound a Steam account A to a Warframe account A, you must be signed into Steam account A to make Steam Wallet purchases for Warframe account A. This applies differently depending on the following scenarios in which Steam Account A is bound to Warframe Account A: Steam Store Scenarios: I purchase a Steam Pack on the Steam Store with Steam Account A and then log into Warframe Account A, I will see the purchase in my Warframe Account A. I purchase a Steam Pack on the Steam Store with Steam Account B and then log into Warframe Account A, I will not see the purchase in Warframe Account A. NOTE: This is because Steam Account B is not bound to Warframe Account A, which is required to claim the purchase made. If you encounter this issue, please contact support.warframe.com for further assistance. In-Game Market Scenarios: I can purchase real world currency packs (including Platinum) from the in-game Market using Steam Account A bound to Warframe Account A. I will receive an error message and will be directed to support.warframe.com if I attempt to purchase real world currency packs (including Platinum) from the in-game Market using Steam Account B while signed into Warframe Account A. NOTE: This does not apply to in-game TennoGen Market purchases - you will still be able to buy TennoGen items in-game without any sort of restriction from the Steam account you are logged into. If you encounter an error following any of the above scenarios, you can do the following: If you have multiple Steam accounts, ensure you are signed into the correct Steam account that is bound to your Warframe account. If you have multiple Steam accounts but are signed into the correct bound Steam and Warframe accounts, and are still receiving this error, please contact support.warframe.com for further assistance. Thank you! Auto Login Once you have bound a Warframe and Steam account, you will be able to use the new Auto Login feature, which automatically signs you in and loads you into the game immediately after launching Warframe from Steam. How to Set Up: It’s as easy as clicking the “Auto Login” checkbox below the “Login With Steam” button! It can also be enabled/disabled using the “Steam Auto Login” toggle in the Social tab Options: How to disable Auto Login: Log out from the Esc menu by going to Profile > Log Out Go to your Options > Social > Steam Auto Login and toggle off We’re excited to bring this to our Steam Tenno with the launch of Koumei & The Five Fates next week! ----------------------- Oct 2nd Update: Fixes from today's Hotfix :) - Updated the error message when a purchase fails on a Steam bound account to better communicate to players the reason. - Fixed rare crash after attempting to bind Steam and Warframe accounts. October 3rd Update: PSA notice for those who had made purchases prior to the launch of Koumei & the Five Fates: Fixes from today's Hotfix: Fixed being unable to cancel out of the “Bind Existing/Create New” or “Pick a display name” Steam Binding screens. There is now a “Cancel” button on these screens! We will also be adding it to the Privacy and TOS page in the near future, as we know this has been causing issues with accidental account creations. If you have unintentionally created a new account and need further assistance, please contact support.warframe.com. Fixed certain players that do not have TennoGuard Two-Factor Authentication enabled being unable to sign into Steam bound accounts. 51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do. Soundtrack will play as long as you press 'Login with Steam'. But yeah, you can't hear Lotus Eaters track forever)) Edited September 28 by TigraPolosatiy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debooting Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 So if I link my PlayStation Warframe Account to my Steam Account. Will I have the ability to receive 50% - 75% steam discounts via logging in on console? Or will I still be required to log in on a PC account if I want to have a chance at the steam discounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
