Remote sign out of Steam?
My steam is always running and starts up automatically when my PC boots.

If my computer where to brick and I where to take it to a repair shop, would signing out of my account through my phone app keep the repairman from booting the PC after fixing it and having Steam pop up with my account still signed in?

I know through experience that repair people like to snoop a little bit and i'd really prefer them not to have access to my Steam account because it auto-started with me signed in.

Even if Steam didn’t run on startup, as long as your credentials are saved anyone with access to your device can just open it.

You can log out remotely from all devices using the app or web browser here Steam > Settings > Account > Manage Steam Guard Account Security > Deauthorize all other computers now

No. That would just sign you out of the app.

It might log you out if you change your password from your phone. I haven't tested this myself but it would make sense.

Edit: Above suggestion is correct. On the mobile app, you can access this panel via [Store>Account details>Manage Steam guard>Deauthorize all devices]
