That doesn't mean it's not 2FA.
My gripe is how the fuck did they get my steam password at all.
>If you're not using Steam Guard through the app, you don't have 2FA.
Two factor authentication simply mean 'two' means of authentication, first is password and the second is the code received on email.
Steam guard is an additional thing that necessitates you should be in possession of a particular phone. It's more than 2FA and more secure can said to be 3FA.
Every site on this world sends you code on mail/phone number when 2FA is activated.
