How to Secure a Steam Account
Verify the Account Ownership
Check the creation date and confirm the registration email matches the account. If they match, you likely have the original email
1. Change the Password
After logging in, click on your nickname in the top right corner and select "Account Details." Scroll down to find the option to change your password. Here
It's safer to keep the account on the same email, but if you want to change it, modify it in the "Account Details" section.
2. Set Up Steam Guard Mobile 2FA
Add a mobile number for enhanced security. Set up Steam Guard Mobile to receive codes via the Steam app. Deauthorize all devices to ensure no unauthorized access. Here
3. Collect Additional Information
Request a list of CD keys used on the account and the last 4 digits of the cardholder's credit/debit card for future account recovery. Verify purchases through the "Account Details" section. Here
4. Community Locks/Bans
If your profile receives reports, Steam may flag your account as stolen. Provide as much ownership proof as possible. Preferably, the original owner should submit recovery tickets from their IP address.
Additional Tips
- Be cautious with temporary emails and trust the seller before proceeding, as they can reclaim the account.
- Keep records of email changes, CD key activations, payment methods, credit card purchases (date, location, cardholder's name, last 4 digits). This info may be needed for account recovery.
