My brother is stealing my own account.
I need help with protecting my account from my brother.
Since i saved spent money and effort in order to get my first steam game (Playerunknown's Battlegrounds), I played it in my home computer, which is both mine and my brother's, but he plays it in our computer from MY steam account. I tried to talk to him and see if he agrees to pay me some of the money i paid for the game, but he refuses.
I told him that I'll simply change the password and log out every time i leave the computer, but I'm afraid it will be hard for me to remember.
Is there any way to block him from playing the game? Because it sounds impossible to me.
Thank you.

Try using "Family View" and setup a PIN and select the games that can be played while Family View is enabled on your Account.

Better idea: Lock your Windoes account when you leave the computer. Pressing Win+L when you leave is a good habit to have and easy to remember. Your brother wont be able to use your Steam account this way. And read your email, access your Facebook account and everything else.

You are STILL not allowed to share your account with him, even if he gives you money for the game.
Letting ANYONE else play on your account can get your whole account suspended by Steam,
Tell him to make his own account and buy the game for himself.
Because the way its now you risk losing your account.

I think you should see it as a benefit that you both got the usage out of it, as-long as he's not holding up the PC to play it when you want to play it. At any other time you don't lose from it and maybe you think it's unfair you paid for it and he didn't, I don't know how old you guys are, but maybe he could buy a game and you play it too later at some other time, or the family could hard shared the cost originally as a gift for both of you or something.

How to share it though I would had suggested that you family shared each other accounts on the machine and then used your own logins so that he played it from his own account even though it is your game that way he wouldn't show up as you and could take his own screenshots, write his own review and such I assume, or one can't if family shared?

As for password if you do what many people do, which is add something towards the end of the password though pretty/very predicatable at-least your old password won't work, you could just add a 1 in front of it and you'll remember it very easily but your old one don't work and he'll notice that ...

You changed password and logged out and he still got access? I don't know if one need to be logged in on Steam but if so I guess your e-mail password maybe isn't that secret either and that he recovered it? =P

Isn't the difference in sharing your login details vs letting someone play a game?
If I let my sisters son play Sonic on my computer with my game and my Steam logged in they will ban me? What about if it's a split screen game? Am I supposed to play that with one hand per player?

I assume letting someone else play a game on your computer with you logged in and a game you've purchased would be something they at-least wouldn't ban you for ..
As for sharing account details even if in the same family and on the same computer .. well.. potentially .. then again what if they are kids and aren't allowed to have their own accounts and definitely doesn't have their own credit cards and you are the parent which account it is and you buy childrens games and let your children use it?

It would be completely absurd (to me) if people living together or a friend on a visit couldn't get to play one of the games on the machine.

I assume if abuseviely shared in some obvious enough way and especially if something happen to your account because you've shared it then it's more risky much more of the responsibility fall on you.

I'm not really arguing any terms and end user license agreement here, I'm also not giving legal advice, I'm just reasoning about what seem reasonable and I assume letting your brother play your game while you are logged in on Steam in a family environment isn't something you'll get thrown out for. And really if Valve did so and did many things like that then I'd hope people would had voted with their wallet and left the platform. Valve should have the intention to be as friendly and helpful as possible to keep their users happy. If you can't let a friend play then clearly there's much more user-friendly platforms around there. Nintendo doesn't say "you're not allowed to let your friends play on this console."

If they had separate computers and he let his brother use his login then I assume it would terms-wise be a problem and separate accounts and family sharing would be the best way and assuming it's not breaking the terms I assume he keeping the credentials for himself but just log in and let his brother play (as said if not breaching any terms) would be a better solution.
