F*ck*ng Steam 😠 ... a friend of mine forgot his password and they wanted him to pay 5$ so they would change it.... that's about one year ago but since that happend, he sh*ts on Steam.

Sorry buddy but I think waiting for this only results in wasted time 🙁

Did you use Steamguard?

I do not remember.

I didn't even have steam on my pc, as I had reinstalled windows and had not logged in to steam for months.

It just seems a bit odd that the email said if you did not request this change Don't worry your account is safe.

Apparently, it wasn't.

I tried to edit my previous post, but all I got was a blank window.

They seem to claim no passwords were compromised, but I wonder.

Got an email from them, hopefully they fix this.

Sorry to hear that. So far, I haven't had any problems with my Steam account.

You'll get it back soon enough. Worst case you will supply a few purchase/confirmation emails and you are good to go. It will take a bit of time however.

I also recommend you activate Steam Guard. It's another step asking for a verification code which is sent to your email account.

Steam's tech support can be slow sometimes, with response messages taking over a week or more. When I was having a problem installing something I had actually fixed the problem myself while waiting for a response, then got a response several days later.

All things considered, you may want to change your eMail password too, just in case.

Since you said Steam had already sent you an eMail back I imagine they've told you what information they need to solve this issue, but in case not, here's their particular support page which says what kind of information they need in order to deal with a hijacked account as quickly as possible: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.p … =2347-QDFN-4366

Have you got any retail keys attached to the account? If you do you can easily prove ownership of it by sending them an image of the cd key card. A friend of mine had the same problem because he used predictable passwords.

I got my account back today, looks like they had been playing counterstrike. I felt like sending some nasty messages to the people on their friends list, but I decided not to.

Good one! Did you get any free games in the process? 😁
