Hi guys, I am using steamguard, and today while typing the code to log in, additional message appeared, that Steamguard has not recognized my webbrowser, and that I should write at least 6 letters describing it, or it's name. This is new to me. That never happened to me before.
I am using same webbrowser as before.
Is this new feature? Has anyone else got it?
Thanks.

What browser are you using?

Steam Guard is an old feature and it requires you to enter a code sent to your email whenever you login from a new PC/browser or after you clear your cookies. It's for security and it should always be turned on (FAQ on Steam Guard)
EDIT: No idea what the description thing is, never happened to me at all

Yeah, I know, the thing is, that it never required such information, this is the first time it did :)

i'm using maxthon as browser and it's happened also to me today(it's the first time), I just written randomly "maxthon" in the field and then was all normal.

Maybe it is a new feature after all? I cleared cookies many times, and it never did.
Maybe they added this as a form of captcha?
