You can't change it. There is no solution. Just the way it is. It's a log in name nobody else sees anyway.

i can't accept this. there must be an option to log in with e-mail or a solution that fixes this. I can't believe how humble steam is. Time to move!!

Nope, only other remote solution is to make a new account and family share all your games to it. If you can't handle a cosmetic login that is like once a year then you have bigger issues.

The only people that log in with their original email address are the oldest of accounts. When Valve eventually researched the possibility of allowing people to change their login name, mostly to get those early accounts to migrate to a non-email login name, they discovered that changing someone's login name would completely break their account. To many far flung parts of Steam require that database field to properly identify a user.

Valve has admitted that they never anticipated people wanting/needing to change their login name and didn't design the database to allow such a change. They only got rid of emails for login names after realizing that someone couldn't create multiple accounts linked to a single email, like a parent making separate accounts for their kids but only wanting to have one email account to monitor.

You can prevent having it auto filled in by

a) autologin at start
or
b) close steam by choosing "change account" as logout. Steam tab.

I made a new account years ago just to change my login name.. luckily I didn't have many games on it.

Allowing email login would instantly make most steam accounts less secure. Your steam login is not public - but your email account is easily seen any time you sign up to other places or send an email.
It's very difficult to guess both a username and a password, but if the email was the login that's half the puzzle solved already.

There isn't and it's honestly irrelevant whether you can or cannot accept that. All you can do is create a new account and family share the games from your older account.
