Highly unlikely this was Steam's doing, but your account might be compromised.

Does this URL show any entries? => https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

Your account is compromised. You should secure it. You gave out your account info.

I have steam guard, why is there not a notification for a transaction of nearly 30 bucks? I never gave out my account info. If it was for steam family share to let a friend try out a game, I signed in myself and logged out immediately.

I put in a ticket, but no response yet.

@ShelLuser Idk what the heck that url is but I have a key but nothing along the lines of "entries"

Does the button say "Register" or 'Revoke My Steam Web API Key"?

The value in the input field is an "entry" as data has been entered into the input.

Typically that apikey should be blank, it's usually evidence your account has been compromised.

And you say "I have Steam Guard" like you think it's an invincible shield that will protect you no matter what. It's just a lock, a good one. But it doesn't do much good if you've been tricked into providing your credentials and guard key to a phishing site for any reason at any point in time.

You can argue the point if you want, a lot of people do. Regardless, your account is compromised. Good luck proving it's Valve's fault and not your own. You should focus on securing it though.

Steam Guard doesn't help you if you give away all your account info.

Your wallet funds/items won't be returned to you.

You did this not Steam. Why would Steam fix this if your the one that comprised your own account?

thank you for the above, completed all. Steam guard keeps giving me issues trying to reset the password. This whole thing is super lame. If someone got past steam guard, a text to my phone, and an email I had to verify and I STILL cant even use it as intended to change my password steams got issues

Becuase its their fault I did not get notified for a purchase of any significant amount. Yes steam guard isnt impenetrable but they have me verify every 0.03 cent market item i post, why the fk not a 30$ steam purchase on the marketplace. Steams fault. Im getting my money back.

Steam Guard is just an added Key. If you give it away someone has access. No didn't than if you give your house keys away to a stranger that stranger has access to your account

It's not. Someone only got into your account from your side. There is no feature to require a user to confirm a purchase. They shouldn't be in your account in the first place. Instead of blaming Steam you should figure out how someone got your username, password and LIVE Guard code.

Just blaming Steam instead of figuring that out means you don't learn from your mistake and are more likely to repeat the same mistakes. Maybe next time it's with your bank account
