Anyway to let Steam Page handle the authentication flow?

[1MochaChan1]

Hey, I am working on a website where the user may need to sign in to his Steam account so they can see the games they own.
According to SteamWorks documentation here in the Web Browser based authentication with OpenID section, they have mentioned we can use their OpenID 2.0 implementation to do so.

So, is it possible for us to redirect the user to the Steam Page for authentication and then get the steam_id once they've successfully logged in?

I am using the following:
Python 3.11
Flask 2.2.2
steam 1.4.4

If you are making website you can let users login with OpenID. You will get their Steam ID, and you can then use the Steam WebAPI to request information, like the games they own as long as they have their profile privacy set to public.

You don't need steam package for any of that.

Thanks a lot! I am new to Web Development so I wasn't sure what to use. Appreciate your quick response.
