Linking Steam Account To 3rd Party Sites

[Jackie Paper]

I have never trusted any sight enough to link my steam account, but has anyone ever linked there accounts to fanatical or humble bundle?

They seem pretty safe but I would like to get some opinions before I go and link my account.

As long as they are not asking you to put your steam id and pass manually it should be ok

Fanatical and Humble Bundles are safe btw

Here is how you do it:

Step 1: Go to Steam yourself. Do this by a bookmark, or use google, or type in the address yourself. The point is you are trying to get to Steam in a way that has nothing to do with the site you are trying to use. Confirm you are logged in. If not, log in.
Step 2: Now go to the site you want to use.
Step 3: Click the log in through Steam button.


If it asks you for a username and password, leave. You just confirmed that the real Steam website already knows you are logged in, so whatever you're looking at isn't Steam. If it just gives you a big green button to approve, you're fine. Steam isn't giving them unrestricted access, they're just giving them a unique id to use as a login token.
