Stop with the "steps" thinking. It's not part of the rule.
A player is either holding the ball or dribbling the ball. If he's dribbling, then there are no restrictions on the movement of the feet. if he's holding the ball, then the pivot foot movement is restricted.
Deciding when a player goes from dribbling to holding is judgment, and the judgment is not based on the number of steps.
