I just recently started using steam again and was introduced to their new security system…
…where I have to put a code (sent via email from steam) in everywhere i want to assess my account. Even if it's just on their website from my work.
What are the Pro's and Con's of this? It's really irritating to put in a code every time!
Steam asked me multiple times to authenticate my PC/Webbrowser. Is it just me or has this happend to other people as well?
Extra Info
Steam Guard will ask you to verify when reinstalling, and a second time when you replace your steamapps folder

Pros for you - If your account is stolen, the other users won't be able to repeatedly login with your account.
Cons for you - You have to do a one-time validation
Pros for Steam - It is harder for people to share accounts, since only one e-mail can be listed and they will always get the notifications.
