I feel like the texts are a much more secure way to get the code, rather than my email. Anyone can access my email but my phone is always with me.
I also dont like anyone having a chance to see my email or any part of it – even if it is just a few letters.
So basically, can I disable the email guard so my phone is the only way to get into my account and my phone is the only way?
If you want to do this without starting Steam and logging in, you can modify the setting in the Windows registry. The autostart checkbox is directly tied to a registry key — simply deleting it is all the Steam client does when said checkbox is unchecked.
Navigate to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and delete the Steam key. Or as a .reg file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

This didn't use to be possible, but it has been fixed now. The old gifting system has been integrated with the inventory.
When you click the "Accept Gift" button in the "pending gifts" section of your inventory, you'll get the option of storing it in your Steam Inventory.

In the options of the SteamGuard, you can now activate de Authenticator on your phone via the Steam App.
Go to your Account Details/Account Security/Manage Steam Guard and chose the Authenticator option. It is not exactly the same as getting a text instead of a mail but allow you to use your phone and not your email address to log in to Steam.
