Revoking steam api key

[Jawsh]

i was trading skins on cs.money, but when i hit confirm trade in the mobile authenticator the trade didnt go through and cs.money stated "The trade has been cancelled in Steam. You are being scammed, unless you cancel it intentionally, Your Steam account is vulnerable, your items are at risk of theft. Please follow the next steps to prevent the damage"

and listed
"1. Change your password in Steam account settings
2. Revoke the API Key issued by scammers.
3. Create new trade URL
4. Please be careful when a third-party site asks for your Steam credentials (login, password) as it is the most prominent form of hacking into accounts."

but i changed my password but what does revoking my api key do?

Are you using your own, personal, no one else using it computer?

Where are you attempting to do these trades? On steam or off?

When you 'try those things' do you then immediately go back to the trade window or do you turn steam off and wait a day or so before jumping right back on?

Your account is obviously not under your control if this is happening. WHO ELSE has access to the computer or your account? If you're 'family sharing' it to anyone they have your info and are using it. If you have ever logged on to a third party site, or 'voted for someone's team' those are compromises.

Password change requires a three day cooldown. Do all the things, IN ORDER, and then *wait* for several days before doing anything more.

Also I should add: "Generate new codes" ON A DIFFERENT DEVICE, never use the same computer or device.

@Zekiran Im already at 5th Step the Api key do i need to put something in there when its already empty ?

[Zekiran]

No, if it is empty that is correct.

When you are finished doing this, don't do anything more. Don't remove cookies or clear cache, just turn steam off and wait a day or so before you do anything else trade-wise. Obviously if something happens while you are not doing it, the account is still compromised. So stop fiddling with it after you do the security measures and just rest a bit.
