## Solution (it’s important to follow the steps precisely)
1. Once the error is encountered, you need to **restart the Steam Guard linking process** from the beginning.
2. Enter your login and password, then you’ll be asked to input a phone number. **Do not ignore** this request and enter a real phone number.
3. From here, two things can happen: either you get another error, or you’re asked to enter an SMS code.
- If you get another error, proceed to step 4.
- If you receive an SMS code, **do not enter it**, just close the linking window (see step 3.1).
**3.1. Important!** Do not enter the SMS code you received. Close the linking window.
**3.2. Wait 20 minutes** for Steam to "forget" about the phone number in the linking process.
1. Upon encountering the error, restart the Steam Guard linking process from scratch.
2. Enter your login and password.
3. A prompt to enter your phone number will appear. Do not skip this step and enter a real phone number.
4. Click on the link sent to your email.
5. Press the "Proceed" button.
6. From here, one of two things may happen: either an error (of any type) appears, or a request for SMS input:
- If an error appears (e.g., "Could not confirm email," though it could be another error) – proceed to step 7.
- If no error appears, and you proceed to the SMS input stage (see step 6.1 below).
**6.1. Important!** Do not enter the SMS code sent to your phone. Close the linking window.
**6.2. Wait 20 minutes** to allow Steam to "forget" about the phone number in the linking process.
4. At this point, the bug should be cleared from your account.
5. Now, you can retry linking the account as usual. The problem should be resolved, and you can link the account with or without SMS.
8. At this point, the issue with the account should be resolved.
9. You can now repeat the linking process as usual. The problem is resolved, and the account can be linked either with or without SMS.
If this doesn’t help, try again. However, be aware that after 3-5 failed attempts, Steam may block the linking process for anywhere from one day to a week. To avoid this, it’s best to follow this guide as soon as the issue is detected.
