104-105: Nice cross-platform clarification – consider adding the Windows/Linux defaults too.Stating the macOS path is helpful; however, many users may not know the default locations on Windows (
%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Steam\config) or Linux (~/.steam/steam/config). A quick parenthetical note would make the guidance fully self-contained.
106-108: Fix grammatical slip and split the run-on sentence.- on _Linux_ to encode the file, if you are a on _Windows_ device, use + on _Linux_ to encode the file. If you are on a _Windows_ device, useThe extra “a” and comma create a stumble; breaking the sentence also improves readability.
109-109: Correct the spelling of “receive”.-1. If when running the action you recieve another MFA code via email, run +1. If, when running the action, you receive another MFA code via email, run

104-107: Minor grammar / clarity fixes for the new macOS-path paragraphTwo tiny nits:
- Extra article: “if you are a on Windows” → remove “a”.
- The sentence is long; splitting improves readability.
-1. The folder from which you run `steamcmd` (or `~/Library/Application Support/Steam` on macOS) - will now contain an updated `config/config.vdf` file. Use `cat config/config.vdf | base64 > config_base64.txt` - on _Linux_ to encode the file, if you are a on _Windows_ device, use +1. The folder from which you run `steamcmd` (or `~/Library/Application Support/Steam` on macOS) + will now contain an updated `config/config.vdf` file. + • On _Linux_, encode the file with + `cat config/config.vdf | base64 > config_base64.txt` + • On _Windows_, use + `certutil -encode -f .\config\config.vdf tmp.b64 && findstr /v /c:- tmp.b64 > config_base64.txt`.
109-114: Spelling correction: “recieve” → “receive”-1. If when running the action you recieve another MFA code via email, run +1. If, when running the action, you receive another MFA code via email, runAlso consider re-phrasing “You will also need to repeat the process…” into the same bullet for tighter grouping, but that’s optional.
