Steam Account Binding & Auto Login

As announced on Devstream 181, we’re improving the login experience for users that launch Warframe from Steam with the introduction of Account Binding and Auto-Login in the Koumei & The Five Fates update!

This is accurate at the time of writing, if there are any changes they will be reflected in the Koumei & The Five Fates update patch notes.

Account Binding

Account Binding allows a Warframe account to bind to a Steam account, so that upon launching Warframe from Steam you do not need to input your credentials to log in. Instead, clicking the “Login With Steam” button will log you right into the game and bypass this step!

What to Expect:

After Koumei & The Five Fates goes live, when you launch Warframe from Steam and click the “Login With Steam” button you will be prompted to bind your Steam account to either: [olist]

An existing Warframe account OR

A new Warframe Account that’ll be automatically bound to the Steam account you are signed into [/olist] [hr] Binding Existing Warframe Account:

1. Select the “Bind Existing” option to bind an existing Warframe account to the Steam account you are currently logged into.

2. Fill the email and password fields with the credentials associated with the Warframe account you want to bind to the Steam account you are currently logged into and hit “Confirm”.

• NOTE: Please check to make sure that you are linking the correct accounts (both your Warframe AND Steam account), as the link cannot be undone.

• TennoGuard Two-Factor Authentication is required to bind a Warframe account to protect against fraud and prevent someone from binding your Warframe account to the wrong Steam account.

• If you have TennoGuard enabled on the Warframe account you are attempting to bind, upon hitting “Confirm” you will be prompted to enter a code that was sent to your email. Once entered, you have completed the account binding process!

• If you have not enabled TennoGuard on the Warframe account you are attempting to bind, learn how to in our TennoGuard Two-Factor Authentication FAQ.

Warframe accounts bound to Steam still adhere to the Cross Platform Save restrictions (more details in our FAQ).

This new Account Binding system replaces the Steam Economy binding and operates the same way – meaning, in order to purchase TennoGen from the Steam Store (specifically from the website, in-game Market not impacted), you must bind a Warframe account to a Steam account.

• If you have bound a Warframe account to Steam Economy before Koumei & The Five Fates launches, you may encounter the following scenarios depending on the Warframe and Steam accounts you attempt to bind through the new Account Binding system launching the the update (expand spoilers):

Scenario A: If I have Steam account A already bound to Warframe account A with Steam Economy, but I go to bind Steam account A to Warframe account B, C, D. etc. after Koumei & The Five Fates launches, I will not be able to, and will receive an error and have to submit a ticket to support. This is because that Steam account is already bound to a Warframe account, and cannot be bound twice.

Scenario B: If I have Steam account A already bound to Warframe account A with Steam Economy, but then I go to bind Steam Account B, C, D etc... to Warframe account A after Koumei & The Five Fates launches, I will not be able to,
