Someone try to log in to my account. I got 3 emails "Here is the Steam Guard code you need to login to account "

[Bunch]

Please, do something with it.

So, only an attempt?

Your account name? Double check carefully.

change your password ?!

It means that someone has your login data (username and password).

It might just be a username/password combo you've used elsewhere, or maybe you've given your login data to someone -- like, let's say, a CSGO "skin" scam site.

It's up to you to get an idea how your login credentials leaked out.

^This.

Change password now, and stop logging in from 3rd party sites, or sharing login details with others.

Bunch, you need to change your password. This will then stop. Just do it.

Just in case, do the following.


Scan for malware. https://www.malwarebytes.com/

Deauthorize all devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage

Change your password on a secure device.

Generate new back up codes. https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage

Revoke the api key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

My computer is clean. WHY do you tell me that? Someone try to log in my account in a DIFFERENT place on earth. There is no connection of my PC.

But why? Attemps to login has nothing to do with changing my password.

If the email contains your login name then somebody somewhere has it and your password. That's how those emails are generated. That's why you need to change your Steam password. Someone is trying to get into your account.

Also, make sure your Steam and email password aren't the same. Otherwise it makes it loads easier for someone to get into your account.

It doesn't matter where on Earth they are. If you installed malware (and I'm not saying you did), it can send information to whoever, wherever. The age of the internet means people don't need to physically be in the same place as you to perform malicious acts anymore.

Somebody knows your login credentials, and right now, Steam Guard is the only thing preventing them from gaining access to your account. You wouldn't be getting emailed Steam Guard codes in the first place unless someone correctly enters your username and password when attempting to login.

So yes, change your password, and they can no longer correctly enter your login credentials anymore.

Try to also think where/how you might have leaked your login credentials as well.

If your device has a backdoor on it, by virus/etc then someone will have access, or able to record your input as long your device connected to the internet.

It means someone knows your username, and password, and trying to use those two to login, but fail to login due to the fact you have Steam guard enable.

If you want to stop getting attempts warning by email, then change password duh... Or leave it, and keep getting attempts warning by email, it's up to you.

Your computer might be clean but your account's probably compromised.

Do the list. All of it. If there's nothing in the last (api key) don't worry about it, nothing SHOULD be there.

Have you checked the account name? Is it positively yours?

Nothing anyone can do if others have your login info. They got that info from you somehow...phishing site is the usual way

Location data is based on IP address and that's pretty much worthless. I could appear to come from any country I want in just a few seconds.

Now IF someone has your login name and password they still need your Steam Guard code. Provided they haven't got that your fine. To stop gettting emails saying someone logged in using correct login name and password and it providing a Steam guard code you need to change your password. With a different password whoever is trying to can access won't pass the first part and that means you won't get those emails saying they did and providing Steam guard codes.

Check you system
Scan for Malware/virus https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/

Change your Account password on a secure device, mobile phone for example. (Do this while Malware bytes is running.

Even if you think/believe you have no malware run the check anyway. That way you'll be 100% sure and know not just believe.
