can steam games be played with no internet connection?

temporarily lost internet connection, tried to play some steam games but couldnt because a password entry was popping up since no internet connection it would just log me out of steam

You have to save the password this will allow you to play offline for about a month at a time. But you have to do this before you lose internet access.

If you start Steam in offline-mode then yes, you can play any games that have been started at least once in the last 30 days with Internet-connection on.

just type anything into the prompt and hit login. After a few seconds it will say 'could not connect to steam servers' or something like that and give you two buttons, 'try again' and 'start in offline mode'

Go online with steam
Install and launch any games you want to play offline
In the steam client go to Steam-> Go Offline

Steam will then enter offline mode

Note you cant play games that have MP components offline.
