How to Secure a Steam

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

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

Change the Email

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.

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

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

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.
