Questions regarding my API key (im scared)
I just went to "steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey" and found out that i have my api key set to some random numbers + "localhost". Not really sure what that all means but i definitely didnt put that in myself. I am bit scared if its not part of the "API key scam". Should i delete it and reset my API? Thanks.

Delete it. Better secure your account to be on the safe side.

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

Correct! Safeguard the account if you see ANY API keys (unless of course you are a developer or publisher).
