Hijacked not hacked. Follow steps 1-6 to secure your account:

1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Check that the email and phone number on the Steam account are still yours.
3. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
4. Change passwords from a trusted/clean device.
5. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
6. Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey (should be nothing in the APIKEY)

That doesn't mean your account was compromised at that time. Hijacker could sit on your account for months.

What is the use of locks if a thief still can get into my house through a window?

No safety method is 100% secure. A lock is useless if you hand out the key or open the door to a thief.

why have steam guard then if its no good

This is useless as they stole it any case without two factor Authentication.

Its just like a lock, if you handle out the key , its not safe anymore.

If you can prove it, then sure. If you'r assuming it, well your assumptions aren't evidence.

The reality is users do give away their credentials and they lie about it, or are unaware of it. I mean you want some l33t h4x0r to have over powered Valve's security so you're blameless. But the reality is users are the weakest part of security and they're easy to exploit and usually in denial about it. And all the things that trick users are often simple, easy and low tech and allow you to cast a wide net every day.

So what's the port of Steam Guard? It's a lock, and locks work great when you use them properly in conjunction with all the other security, and not so good when you don't. And honestly not every user who thinks they've got security sorted out, but thinks Seam Guard should be an invincible shield, really knows what they're doing.

After all going after Steam Guard and trying to blame it doesn't make much sense. And you might as well say, "What is the use of password if they can still steal your skins without u giving Steam password". Honestly in either case that's probably not the case. You probably did give them away without realizing it. Phishing works. And it's not so implausible because you're involved. You're just another human being and human beings aren't great at all this stuff.

It's not useless, but you need to do them in order.

If I have a burglar alarm on my house and a solid 3 slot lock and then give away the codes and keys, I cannot blame the lock and the alarm if my house is robbed.

You allowed your account to become compromised at some stage and this allowed scammers to carefully target you. Nobody here can state how badly you are compromised or if this also stretches to your phone also but those steps provided above must be done and then you must ensure that your account is secured at all times else it will likely happen again.

Yep it is what it is then just except it as it happens and go on and don't support any steam or any developer any more ♥♥♥♥ happens no wonder there is more cheaters and hackers online these days as the big chiefs just say its not us well it is what it is .
