Unknown log ins in my account

[Dragonborn]

Ive been checking my log in history and... Starting from 29 Dec past year, many unknown enters have been made. Same country as mine but diffrent states. How can I protect my account?

[まりさ]

Do you use Steam on smartphone? If you do, that's common with mobile network, it doesn't always pick same location where you are located.

[Dragonborn]

Of course I do! But the state and location are REALLY diffrent... Is there any way to get more information about accout log ins and offs? btw enters have same OC as mine phone and pc, i think

[Dragonborn]

But still, ive checked earlier enters and they ALL from my city, but starting from 29 dec some strange log ins have been made. But OC have same number as my phone and PC i think, comparising my and strange account log ins

My location is never right, not once. closest was 200+miles away.

I can use a VPN in a server 300 miles away and Steam shows me login for 50-100 miles away/

Check, Log out, Login and check again to see if it's even showing an accurate location. Things between you and Steam can change at any time. Just resetting your router can get a new public IP and that can alter where Steam and others servers think you are

Thats very strange. Account sessions before 29 december show mine town, but after strange IPS showed up. I changed my pass this morning and guess what, aside of all my log ins there was another strange one, showing diffrent state

[Dragonborn]

Both enters shows same OC. Whats OC anyway?

Could be lots of things affecting it. Your modem and other things related to your ISP. Just resetting it can change the public IP and that could result in appearing from different locations.

I've just switched on my VPN, set to Manchester in UK. Steam shows me as yorkshire, websites show me as 2+ locations, 1being Manchester and another shows me as Switzerland.

With VPN off I show as being located in Glasgow, Scotland when I'm several 100 miles away.
Point is if the login appears from somewhere else log out and back in to see if Steam is registering your logins but recording them from wrong locations

[Dragonborn]

Im just worried about my account. I have never logged my steam account on shady sites, or any, for that matter. Never used qustionable programs or cheats... And boom, something worriying starting to happen to my account. Is that normal for steam to have wrong log ins IP?

Thanks for the answer. I hope its just an error from steam side... Im really careful with my account and did never changed mine locations (dont use VPN too)

I don't either, but I do check every now and then to make sure I somehow didn't pick up an API key on my account.

As long as there isn't one listed you're fine. If there is one, remove it.

It can utterly dpeend on your ISP.

I live in Britain. On the east coast, Lincolnshire. And yet whenever I log in anywhere it will show me as in London (over 100 miles away to the South), or Manchester. Some 200 miles to the north, or a host of other places.

It really depends on how they operate.

If you're getting the correct numbers in the other data safe to say it is you.

You have never entered anything related to your account anywhere, you are safe, if you have doubts, change your password, if it happens again, you should kinda know it is you or your ISP.

this is the solution to the problem.

also, i'm going to recommend these

1) do not go and DISABLE STEAM GUARD

2) do not go and visit illegal and malicious 3rd party websites

3) do not go and click links given by strangers on steam platform that asks for this or that

4) do not share your steam account username and password and email address

4) kindly check and make sure the email address you used for your steam account is 100000% secure.
