Is there a reason why steam users can no longer log in via the web interface/standalone SK client? Trying to do so gives the "Web session game login disabled for Steam accounts" error, which wasn't the case a month ago. This used to be a handy workaround for when Steam's servers are down (which happens quite often!) or when otherwise unable to install or run Steam.

Doing a cursory Google search brought up a recent thread, relating to the Feb. 26th update (here), but there is no other information about that I could find.

Is there still a way to get around using Steam in a pinch?

Cheers!
