Modern Warfare 2 Steam Verify Phone Number Error Fix
When you first launch Modern Warfare 2, you would be asked to verify the phone number on the Steam client. The process is quite simple if everything goes well, but some players have reported that they cannot verify the phone number. Some users report that they verified the phone number and played the game, but after rebooting the PC, the game asks them to verify the phone number again, but the Steam client won’t allow it as you already verified it. So, what can you do to fix the Modern Warfare 2 Steam verify phone number not working?
The first thing you can try is to restart the steam client and try to launch the game. If that fails, remove your phone number from the Steam client. Here is how to do it.
- Open the Steam client and click on your profile in the top-right corner
- Select ‘Account details’
- Under CONTACT INFO, click on Manage your phone number
- Click on Remove ‘number.’
If your issue is still not fixed, open the Steam Settings and go to Web Browser > not click on ‘DELETE WEB BROWSER DATA.’ Try to start the game, and it will hopefully work.
