Can I add another Steam account to GFN?

Questions / Tech Support

I've been searching a bit, but couldnt find conclusive answer yet. I'd like to give my GF her own steam account, which ideally she can then access through my GFN (which she already uses via my Steam account). Can I connect a second steam account so that the one using GFN can easily switch between libraries and saves?

Thank you!

They don't really have a family profile system so you would be bumped out of GFN anytime she plays and you would never have steam autologin again.

Also the sync in the app would only be for one account but that account doesn't mean anything as what account you use to login to steam

You can test it out by going into a steam game you don't own then unchecking remember me and let it say you don't own the game and close then it will never use the autologin again and you can enter whichever steam account you want to login as then

It's not really designed to be a multi-person app when the fee is only 10 or 20 dollars a month, but if you want to sign in and out of the account under different steam accounts some people do that now just by themselves

This is what I do. My kid and I share GeForce Now. We sign into our Steam accounts using the QR scanner. To setup family sharing sign into your account and share it and then login to hers and allow hers to access your family share.

You can but the one that you use now has to be removed.

Also, keep in mind that the Steam account linked in the app...is only for library sync, not for sessions. That makes switching Steam accounts more complicated...having to either use Family View, or launch a Steam game on GFN the account doesn't own...and then signing out/back in with the other account.
