Someone is spamming steam recoveries
Please help

I don't know what to do, some guy is spamming Steam Account Recovery messages to my email like for a week now... What do I do? I have Steam Mobile Authenticator, so can he still hack into my account if something happens?

What exactly does the email say?

Did you activate a Steam key that you found somewhere in public, like from a giveaway? If someone tries to activate a key that you already used, there's an option to send a recovery email to your account's email address.
Here is the code you need to reset your Steam login credentials and then it gives a code

I'm tired of him, can someone see who is doing this and just block him?

Steam can see from where it's done. Noone here though.
Isn't there some instructions in the mail on what to do in case it isn't you who requested the reset? Like "contact steam support" or similar?

In any case, just make sure the password for your email is hard to guess. If you use the same password on any other sites then change the email password immediately.

Seems to me that someone has known or guess your password? But Steam Guard protects this when someone from a different PC or IP adress by needing to confirm authentication by email or phone number. I would recommend an immediate password change to your Steam and email address.

PS: When you make a password, make sure it's NOT the same password on your email(just in case). Also, make sure your password is strong and contains special letters,capitals etc. Easy password=easy hack

Basically what everyone else has said. Someone has your password and is trying to log in and is getting stopped by the Auth, therefore requesting a code to be sent to your email.

Before changing any passwords do a virus/malware scan on your computer and make sure it's clean. No point in changing your password and they've got a keylogger and get it again immediately.

And make sure not to log into/change the password before you do this. Because they clearly don't have the email password, and if there is a keylogger, you'd be giving it to them. Scan first, password second.

Heck, even change the password on a different device. Another computer or your phone. Then contact steam support. They can't tell you who is doing it, because it's impossible to know, but they could give you some advice or something.
