Steam authentication failure after adding esx to my localhost-server

[TimzPlayzYT]

I ran a tutorial from youtube on How to Setup an ExtendedMode (ESX) FiveM Server. After I did everything (so installing + database work) and started it with no errors, I couldn’t connect to the server. The Error Message is:

Connection rejected by server: Unable to find ‘steam’ identifier, please relaunch FiveM while making sure that the identifier provider is running
This is a Steam authentication failure, but you are running Steam and it is signed in. The server owner can find more information in their server console.

Can someone please help me?

Set the Steam API dev key (google it) or remove that check altogether in ESX’s config
