So GoG Galaxy 2.0 wants me to log into Steam via their program. In what Universe is that a good idea? We as a Community have spent hours upon hours to teach people to not log into Steam via other programs or enter their Steam Guard code to avoid their accounts being hacked, then Galaxy comes around and wants us to do exactly that. Yeah, not happening.
This is kind of disappointing. It's another angle of attack, giving someone the opportunity to screw with your accounts.
You guys are probably going to eat me alive, because can't say negative things about GoG, but I am really not a fan of it.

Here is how it should work:
I press connect Steam -> launch default browser with Steam Community login -> I confirm the request to log into GoG with my Steam account -> you pass the token to GoG Galaxy via a Server -> Fin
This way you can get all the data you need, without me entering my credentials into your program.
