Something about Family mod
Hello,
I wanted to ask you if I activate the Family mod and select some games, then, someone else connect to my steam account, a brother or a member of my family, while I am connected to the same account
Would be there any risk to lose my steam account or I get an alert from steam support?
Thanks for answering :)

If you mean that you share using the Steam family sharing and they are using there account while you use your account, then no there is not reason for that to happen.
But do note you cant play in the same time, the game owner account has a priority, and if someone else is playing they will be kicked when the owner comes into a game

I see... it may be he got hijacked with out him knowing..
On any case he did not let someone else login for him right?

He needs to connect support and show its him.. so they will open it back

Also i recommend he change his password. and maybe also restart the Steam Guard locations
