Recently I reinstalled Steam and before that Steam allways asked for my password (only password) but now it justs start. The only option I could find was to fully lock out so I would need internet connection and need to type in my Steam name. How to make steam do that again?

Thanks for help.

Log out of the Steam client. That will re-display the login window again for you. You probably didn't notice "remember me" on the login window being enabled by default. It's caught a lot of people off guard as the old default behavior was "remember me" being disabled by default.

Do as said above but you will need to login with your full credentials and remember to uncheck the remember me box every time now until they revert back to the old login concept of remembering account name only.

Depends if they listen to the mountain of feedback. It's actually ridiculous that it launched like this after a beta period so I wouldn't hold out much hope though.
