Proof of ownership steam account
So i have a question,

I don't have access to the original contact email of my steam account, and a single retail CD Key activated on the account named "Half Life Plantium Pack"

But Part from that, i have full access to my new contact email, credit card, 9 Retail CD keys activated, 1 Steam Wallet Code, i have made over thound's of dollars purchases on steam.

Will this be enough to provide full account ownership?? I am just curious, since I don't have original contact email/ 1 retail key activated.

Thanks, would appreciate some info on this matter.

*EDIT*

I lost the retail half-life key, and my original email is disabled/deleted/inactive what ever you want to call it.

Hey spawk, Can I ask with your account recovery, since I don't have my very first retail key anymore, but I do have a additional 9 of them, could I use any of them 9?

regardless of date used

generally credit/debit card number, paypal email with transactions with your name and address on file works alot more than keys, the only time they usually ask for first cdkey is when two parties are contesting the same account.

Well, The first CD key i lost was because i gave the retail disk/key to my friend to install the games but i don't have my friend anymore since he moved country, and the key is lost this is what I'm worried for the account.

Can i provide them Credit card with name/address/etc, 1 retail CD key used, and a steam wallet code to have full control of my account? what about my contact email? - don't have original contact email but i have the 2nd one. or the next one used after it.


See this is why I'm very worried because i don't have original contact email or original retail key activated anymore they are gone for ever.

yeah, so long as youre the one who created the account you have nothing to worry about and that info works fine, just be sure no one steals it from you and keep your security up and your pc clean

Yup so to provide that you created the steam account its pretty much me providing my credit card, and a retail key/ steam wallet code for extra guarantee of the account?

your question has been answered over and over, youre good to go.

Ok thanks a lot guys, sorry for this worrying.

My account is 100% fine, I only just post this to get this info on what will happen if I have to provide ownership of the account that I don't have access to my 1st email/1st retail code.

Sorry if I felt like wasting your time, but I extremely appreciate your feedback.

hey guys sorry one last question.

If ive spent alot of money on the steam store, would that be more of a proof of ownership for my steam account more than having a very first retail activated code on the steam account or even owning the 9 retail codes/ 1st email registered to account.

I am extremely curious why you seem overly worried about this, as it seems you have way more proof than you will need.

As the good Spawk, as well as others here, has pretty much covered, if it is specifically listed here...

then it should be considered proof of ownership that is acceptabe. If not listed there, then probably not.
