OS Type?

I noticed in my login history most entries said my OS type was 16 but some random ones that said -1 were also sprinkled in, usually at the same time as other logins. The location is the same for all of these. Have i been hacked? What do these numbers mean?

I read the part about -1 and i dont get it. Is it when you use the email steam guard code? I only login on pc steam and thats it. I have not logged into browser steam or anything else in months.

Thank you, that would make sense. Im just suprised i dont see more of them. The -1 is only next to half my logins so i wonder if it does not get all of them

Hey everybody. I keep getting -700 os type in my login history. Should I be worried? Does that mean someone else log in to my account?
