Are Steam's Friend Codes permanent?

[Croooooooow! (I'm Different)]

Do they cycle every 30 days like the Quick Invites? Is there any way to change my friend code in Steam?

Yes. No. No.

They are one of your unique and permanent Steam IDs.

The friend code? No. It's just an identifier for you.

I wouldn't post the Quick Invite link publicly, though. Depending on where it's placed, you could find your friends list filled with a lot of unknown people. Send the Quick Invite link to someone you trust privately.

Oh 100% leak can happen which I find not smart to be using your id for a steam FQ I had a streamer leak mine on accident and I get friended all the time but this should stop one your put on private you don’t wanna any sus accounts adding you for sure
I would recommend steam to use a different way instead of having that number or at lest have it change every use that sounds like it would be a little more safe
