Summary

When playing any steam game, the log file contains the steam login token in clear text, making the log file dangerous to distribute for troubleshooting.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch a Steam game through GameHub
  2. Recover the log files generated at Android/data/gamehub.lite/files/log/

Expected result

The Steam login token shouldn't appear in the logs, at least not fully in clear text

Actual result

Beginners who post their logs end up posting their login tokens publicly for everyone
