2FA apps such as Google Authenticator and Authy randomly generate a code every minute or so, which is matched to a specific key associated with your login.

There are many YouTube videos and Steam Guides how to do this properly and those apps have Auto-Market confirm functionality. Source: almost 2 years ago
