Is Skincash safe?

Steam OAuth, encryption, and why we never see your password.

Short answer: yes. Long answer — here is exactly how we keep your account and your funds safe.

Your Steam password stays with Steam

Skincash uses Steam OpenID for login. The login flow redirects you to Steam's own domain, you enter your credentials there, and Steam sends us a signed token that proves you own the account. We never see your username, password, 2FA code, or mobile authenticator token.

Bot accounts, not your account

Every trade on Skincash goes through our dedicated bot accounts — Steam accounts we operate. You never send items to a random person; you send to a Steam bot whose ID you can verify on every trade offer. Our bots run 24/7 and are monitored for unusual activity.

Verification codes on every sale

When you confirm an Instant Sell, Skincash shows you an 8-character verification code. That exact code appears inside the Steam trade offer message. If the codes do not match, the offer is a scam impersonation — decline it and tell support.

We will never ask for your password
Skincash support will never ask for your Steam password, 2FA code, or mobile authenticator backup codes. Anyone asking for these — including on Discord, Telegram, or fake Skincash lookalike sites — is a scammer.
