how would I go about setting that up on Linux

That is such an awesome idea

Funny. I maintain my own network, which, by the way, I'm pretty pleased with how secure it is (another layer), and this is the only game that I have this issue on. I left Windows years ago. Tell that to ESO, Lotro, Kombat...ANY Blizzard game...and as far as your in-app purchasing argument goes, what app or game these days DOESN'T have that?

I humbly request that you give us the option of logging in manually or autmatically. I understand that you are doing this for security practices. What you may not realize is that we have to log into steam with a password, and I personally have 2FA enabled on my account. So that's two more layers before I even GET to your game. In addition to that, SWTOR constant asks for a one time use password, which often times doesnt get emailed (I speak from personal experience). Or, you gave us the option of registering with a security key using an authenticator, which means I now have to use my PHONE, plus the steam login, plus the manual password, just to play a game! Please consider rectifying this. I have been on the forums, and there are a surplus of like-minded individuals who want to see this change made. Thank you
