This solution may be of particular use if you already use the Steam Desktop Authenticator app on your PC. It avoids the need for a rooted Android device to extract secrets from.

  1. First off you need to open your SDA (Steam Desktop Authenticator) file directory, and find the *.maFile inside maFiles folder (Open it with notepad). In there you will see all the data you need like shared_secret and more.

Confirm that the file is in JSON format. Aegis does not support importing encrypted .maFile files.

  1. Then create a new file named Steamguard-myConfig.json on your desktop(It has to be in json format), and copy-paste all the contents of the maFile into the new json file.

  2. Then connect your android phone to your pc and open the file directory and copy the file into the Downloads folder (Or any other you have access to on the phone).

  3. After doing that you need to open Aegis and go into settings and scroll all the way down and click on import from file. Choose Steam as the option and click Ok. Then select the newly imported Steamguard-myConfig.json file.

You should now have your steam code inside Aegis as well!
