Lightweight user account switcher/login keeper for steam

Lightweight user account switcher/login keeper for steam.

This tool provides a simple UI to switch between different steam user accounts without having to reenter your password/2FA. This works by copying the credentials depot which contains a login token for the last active user to a temporary location. This config is restored to the appropriate location when the particular user is selected from the UI.

This dictates a usage as follows:

• start acolyte

• choose user

• enter password/2FA if required

• play games

• exit steam via “Exit” option

• do not use “Change Users!” from the steam menu (this will invalidate the login token)

• upon exiting steam, the current user cookie will be saved

• the user selection dialog will popup again

• choose user

• …

There is no magic interaction with steam here, and we do not store any credentials independently from steam!

Note that only linux is supported currently. Windows support is planned.
