Steam Account Guard emails in chinese

[Mister Ricochet]

Wondering why I am getting hit four to five times a day with emails from account guard. With a code to verify, but all the text is in chinese. (i think)
I have to go through the verification process everytime I want to play my game. I am almost to the point where I quit gaming on Steam altogether.

could be phishing.

This may not help, but it's general guidelines if you're compromised:

~ From cSg|mc-Hotsauce:
All steps...

Scan for malware. https://www.malwarebytes.com/

Deauthorize all devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage

Change your password on a secure device.

Generate new back up codes. https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage

Revoke the api key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

Make sure you follow these instructions TO THE LETTER or this will keep happening to you. And do not give out Passwords or Steam Guard Codes TO ANYONE. Steam/Valve Employees will NEVER ask for that information and NEVER threaten to ban you.

I dont use API keys, but thank you.

and all the people that have been hit with the APIKEY scam didnt use APIkeys either. its worth checking to make sure the APIKEY is empty. if there is anything there, then you know there is a problem.

Thanks. I did check.

I think its phishing

do you have 2FA turned on as well? Doing that on ubisuck made the MANY fraudulent emails I got go away. I think what it was is that they see that 2FA is enabled and give up on my account as a mark.

Before that, I asked that Ubisoft block login attempts [on my account] from China and Russia, but they never responded to that request.

Using 2FA is a must if you don't want your account to go away from you.

This means someone has your account name and password.

It's possible that Steamguard sends the EMail in whatever language the login has used. I have no experience with 3rd party logins, so I can't say.

I have to go through the verification process everytime I want to play my game.

That's something different. What "verification"?
