I lost all my Friends D:

[⇝-Dead-Angel-Ⓑ]

I came online and i had like a few more than 600 Friends. Now i had 0 idk what happened and i already asked support and i wait for an answer. I dont really know what i should do becuase i dont know everyones name i had and the Adding ist that easy because of the limit that i can send Friend Requests.

Any Tipps?

Most likely because someone with access to your account removed them.

Hijacked, not hacked. You leaked your account credentials somehow.

Do not trade until your account is secured.

Take the following steps to secure your account:

1. Scan for malware. https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Check that the email and phone number on the Steam account are still yours.
3. Deauthorize all other devices. https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
4. Change passwords from a clean computer.
5. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App. https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
6. Revoke the API key (there should be no key). https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

Steam does not return inventory items or wallet funds: https://help.steampowered.com/faqs/view/3B6E-B322-2400-8D24

I guess most of those friends left a comment on your profile. Try looking there.

Yeah but there is the next Problem even if i find most of them again i have that spam thing that i can only send like 10 or so request in idk a few hours and it really isnt that convinient if you lost everyone. You think there is a way for the Steam Support that they have like a Backup or old save files like there is on 3rd Party Websites like Steam Ladder that they have old Safe Points?

Steam does not track or owns a backup of your friends, because of reasons.
With the 10 requests, leaving a message on profiles you will be able to get them back. There is not much else you can do.

Friends Tab - Recently played with -- is also a chance

For friends, try...

Exit Steam.

Navigate to... Steam\userdata\<Steam3ID>\config\

Open localconfig.vdf up with WordPad and CTRL+F to your friends. Find your friends.
