how do i recover a steam account without having anything to prove i'm the owner of it?
i am the owner of an account i lost while trying to reset my email. the email associated with that account has since been deleted (as i deleted the google account that had it) and the last time i saw that account was when Steam Support reset my password. i think they sent it to the email that was deleted, and i have now no way of seeing it. without anything to prove i'm the owner, what can i do now? it's all lost, right? any help would REALLY be appreciated. i also never bought with a credit card, always with either a steam key for a game or with a steam wallet code.

You can not recover a Steam account without having any proof of ownership.

Here is a list of what they accept as proof:

By starting the account recovery.

The recovery process allows you to provide proof of ownership.

You're going to have to offer something they accept as proof or they cannot tell whether you are the legitimate owner or a scammer can they?

It is part of YOUR responsiblity to keep at least a modicum of data or proof to show ownership. It can be a wide range of things.

in any case, all you can do is talk to them but understand if you don't have anything they can accept and verify you will be permannently locked out and that's on YOU.
