Why do you need an email sent if you want to put steam on another... computer?

Just log in on the new computer and it'll ASK you whether that's the right place and want proof it's you, if you have security features implemented on the account.

You can download steam anywhere. Put your log in info in it when it pops up?

it needs a code and it sends that to your email.

Is your Steam connected to your email?

Are you checking that email's spam folder? Are you *positive* you're on the right account and right email?

Had this happen to me before, it took over an hour for the email to finally arrive.

When you install Steam on a new PC or log in the website from another device (e.g. your phone), Steam will send you an email with a verification code. You can't access your Steam account from a new device without that code.

Anyways, just wait a bit; eventually it should pop up in your emails. If that's not the case, I'm pretty sure there is a "What email message? I don't have it..." button when it asks for the code. Try clicking on that button; maybe they'll send you the code via SMS.

When you click that button Steam attempts to send another email.

I tried logging on yesterday evening, but only received the verification email this morning 14 HOURS later. Yet just now I logged in (to post here) and got the verification email instantly. I use gmail if it's of any significance.

sometimes you will just have to wait a few hours, I find it absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and I think steam needs to work on it.

Yes, gmail has always been a bit wobbly with Steamguard codes and such.

This is why another user suggested looking in the spam folder, because that's often where they end up for whatever reason. You think you haven't received it.

A way to mitigate this issue is to add the Steam address as a contact in gmail.

I am having this exact same issue, I do not recieve an email from steam t oauthenticate my accound on freshly installed steam.

Tried to send mt mobile a verification code as well, it doesnt send the sms as well.

I am not sure if something is wrong with me or someting is down on steams side.
