Indeed, same issue here... I guess we'll soon find out if it's Steam acting up or if they just plainly discontinued whatever WinAuth uses for their confirmations :/

Steam did a change where the URL for confirmations has changed, so WinAuth is down. There's other posts about it since it broke SDA and ASF. ASF fixed the issue for ASF pronto, and if you use ASF there's a command you can use until SDA is fixed. Since WinAuth is no longer in development, WinAuth will not be fixed. Someone forked WinAuth to fix the URL, so if you trust that, you can switch to the forked version. More info with links here:

Winauth has been forked to update the codebase since the original project is no longer active.
Trade confirmations working again (I personally tested it)...
https://github.com/auwaho/winauth/releases/tag/3.6.2f
This is a fork of the archived original WinAuth [repository](https://github.com/winauth/winauth) with fixes for authorization and trade confirmation.
The fixed 3.6.2 version is available on the [releases](https://github.com/auwaho/winauth/releases) page.
Requires [.NET Framework 4.8] (https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net48) to run properly.Comment has been collapsed.
Should this be a concern? https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/6617cdc0609c9ee79e952dabd14688d015ed99e2aff166ee43c3b917df9c0795
The official one was clean https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/eb08274c182ab8b68b375d06f35109af7c6c034f9d06c1ac81e26552d9d81d45
so why couldn't he make this one clean?

I looked though the commits made, all seemed good. Just fixes for the authenticator and html trades parsing.
The build on releases page was made from a commit, I don't know if the exe can be tampered.
Windows Defender didn't detect anything, nor kaspersky:

For me, seems good.

I thought it was a little suspicious because the modder's github page doesn't have an Issues tab for people to comment about any problems or allow negative emoticons for his posts (you can thumb up but not thumb down). Maybe he just doesn't want to deal with any complaints but I thought that's also something a malware creator would do, not allow any way for people to talk so they can inform others of an issue.

I looked through some threads of SDA issues where auwaho was commenting, seemed legit, he wants to help but not take any responsibility nor complaints. His fix was very basic, but enough to make it work.
There were no complaints about him on these threads.
I took the risk as I see it as very low. Anything happens, my phone number will protect my account.

I'm not saying it is malicious or not, just wanted to point out that unless you build it yourself from source, the binary uploaded could have any arbitrary changes, there are no guarantees...
PS: you could fork the project and set up github actions to build it automatically on commit push, and download those artifacts

Is this WinAuth fork broken again?
I was just trying to confirm a new trade, and it doesn't appear in it 😐 Used to work fine still a few weeks ago
Any other alternative?
I looked into SDA, but it seems to be made for setting up a brand new authenticator, not re-using an existing one.
I looked into ASF, but it doesn't seem to be conceived to confirm a trade that you manually sent to another user, as far as I understood.

The login expires after a while...just restart Winauth again if it occurs (known issue due to recent changes Valve made).

Is anyone else experiencing this issue with WinAuth? When I go to the Confirmations screen it prompts me to log in. No biggie, I put in my details and click LOGIN. The little circle wait thing shows up for a fraction of a second but nothing changes. If I try again, I get the "too many requests" error. If I wait a while and try again, it's back to "nothing happens". I did check that if I put in the wrong password it gives me the invalid password error, so it's not that.
