You need a phone with the steam app, I don't know how to do this with Iphone though, so preferably you need an Android Phone.
You need debugging tools ADB bridge enabled or a rooted file explorer.
Navigate, to this folder, with adb shell or a file explorer.
/data/data/com.valvesoftware.android.steam.community/files/
there they should be a file called
Steamguard-STEAMID64
(steam ID64 is just a personal identification of your account that valve uses)
now cat into it or open it with a text editor, at the first line there should be something like this.
otpauth:\/\/totp\/Steam:username?secret=THISISYOUROTPCODEBUNCHOFLETTERSHEREYADAYADA&issuer=Steam
now you need to copy: THISISYOUROTPCODEBUNCHOFLETTERSHEREYADAYADA
now on keepass click on you steam account entry, and then on the menu bar click on "Entries" >> TOTP >> Configure TOTP
Select, Steam Token Options, and paste the code into the text box.
done!
now KeepassXC should generate the code for you, you just need to click on the clock on the info box below.

Of the Authenticators apps I know, this will not work on authy (because you cannot feed in the OTP code) and I think on Bitwarden it won't too, because it doesn't has that many options to customize the OTP output.

I think the Android phone needs to be rooted, not just with debugging enabled. With my unrooted phone, in adb shell, trying to enter that directory gives "access denied".

I tried the same thing. I have an old tablet for running the Android Steam App, specifically because I don't want to run the Steam App on my daily driver phone. And I couldn't get access to the files in that folder (even though older Android normally isn't as locked down as newer Android).
The problem for me is I couldn't root this tablet so I'd have to do a tonne of messing around to achieve this:
Flash TWRP and a custom Android rom to one of my spare modification-capable mobiles, move Steam off this tablet onto the new customised mobile, etc etc.
:(

Extracting the token wasn't that hard on Sailfish. I simply enabled developer mode in the settings and accessed the file in the built-in shell.
Here is their github.
It is easy to use:
steamguard-cli setup
in your terminal;~/.config/steamguard-cli/maFiles/
with your favorite text editor;otpauth:\/\/totp\/Steam:username?secret=THISISYOUROTPCODEBUNCHOFLETTERSHEREYADAYADA&issuer=Steam
