Hi everybody. I’m trying to use the SteamSDK in my UE4.24.  
I’d like to get my SteamSession ticket, to do this I’m using

```
SteamUser()->GetAuthSessionTicket(pTicket, ticketMaxLength, &ticketLength);

```

but I always get weird values (e.g. “5”).  
I’ve seen around the web that the Steam session ticket can also be retrieved by using

```
IOnlineSubsystem::Get()->GetIdentityInterface()->GetAuthToken(0)

```

how can I double-check that this is true? Can somebody give me a clearer explanation between these two methods?  
Thanks 🙂
