How many computers can be logged in onto my steam account at the same time?
Title says all.

I don't know the limit, but I regularly have two computers logged into my account. My laptop and my desktop, if I happen to have them both on. Having them both on, they recognize it an enable streaming from one machine to the other. However I can only play games on one machine at a time.

It depends on context.

Only one computer can access your Steam library at any given time, so you can't play the same game on 2 computers using your account.

But more computers can be signed into your account through the website. For example... I'm currently typing this on my desktop computer using Opera, but when I grab my phone I'll be able to read my post using Edge because I'm logged on there as well.

Would I grab my laptop I can also read stuff there because that's another device I often use.

All those devices are logged into my Steam account and I don't have to do anything to get access (once in a while I have to log on again, but that's usualy after several weeks).

Playing doesn't matter, i'll be playing on one machine anyway at a time using remote play. I just want to know whats the limit

As i said above it's only about being logged in at the same time, not playing. I also mean steam clients, this excludes browser & phone

I am unaware of any limit. I've had 4 desktop clients connected at one point, but I've never gone out of my way to push the number higher.

There's nothing in the SSA limiting the number, so give it a shot. Worse case is you get an error and then need to figure out a way to shuffle logins.
