The option on help.steampowered.com wasn't working day before yesterday.



It works now, and you can simply do this from here:

This is how it was before:

Notice that the R-code isn't necessary anymore.

UPDATE 2015-08-01:If you don't have your recovery code (R + 5 digits), and you're stuck at the support recovery page because it asks for both your password AND recovery code to remove the mobile authenticator, then you're in luck (assuming you still have a mobile number attached).1) Clean uninstall Steam (to disable beta participation)2) Reinstall Steam3) Retrieve Lost Account at the login interface4) Follow the steps and opt for SMS recoveryCongratulations, you have successfully removed your mobile authenticator.The support guides (along with some people) will just tell you to simply recover via SMS.If you're here reading this though, chances are you're stuck because the form requires the recovery code (R + 5 digits) that you don't have.Those seeing this particular screen have beta participation active. What you're seeing is the web interface (help.steampowered.com) wrapped in a Steam browser window. Non-beta participants get a client based recovery process, and that's what you need to use.The support articles are not updated until the beta features make it into the official build, that's why details on this are not present there.
