How to recover my account with the steam recovery code
My account got hacked, i contacted steam support and they are completely useless. I have provided all the information for the account. I still have the steam recovery code i got when i enabled the mobile authenticator. Can i recover my account with this code?

The recovery code for the authenticator is only to remove the authenticator itself. It has nothing to do with recovering a hijacked account

If you got hijacked with a mobile authenticator you'd better think VERY VERY hard how that happened.

If you have the authenticator you can already recover your account by changing the password on it using your mobile authenticator codes.

Steam only accepts very specific proof of ownership requirments. Just because you seemingly are throwing whatever you want at them, doesnt mean they're going to accept it.
