Honestly, Steam's mobile authenticator is more of a hassle than it's worth. Just use your email for Steam Guard.
Just dive into the Steam app, hit Steam Guard, and slap that 'Add Authenticator' button. It's pretty straightforward, but don't forget to write down your recovery code and keep it somewhere safe. You'll thank yourself if you ever get locked out.
The mobile authenticator is a must for any serious Steam user. I set mine up in just a few minutes following the app's instructions and haven't worried about account security since.
