lost e-mail/can't remember

[76561198045997384]

Hello!

I have lost my e-mail account which i used for steam.

I used it only once, when i needed to register steam.
already contacted steam about this - but nothing, they say that they need steam e-mail to send the details to make changes to the account (i gave them steam username,password - games i played, my friend list - cd keys (just keys in writing on in print screen or something like that)

it asks me for a new vertification code. - i can't enter my account
formated pc.

is there any way to retrieve it or it's lost?

If the support can't help you, its lost.

Firstly realize how unwise you where to use an email you only used once to create a Steam account you care about. That email is your main proof of ownership of that account and you just carelessly forgot about it?

You will need a proper email address to do stuff on the Internet, one that you know the password to and make sure it doesn't get hacked.

First focus on getting that email back, that might be the easiest way deepening on how "lost" it is.

If that doesn't work, use a new email account to create a support account here: https://support.steampowered.com/register.php and then create a ticket explaining your situation.

The instructions are here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=4988-DHXV-7272

EDIT: If you can't give what Steam needs to restore it you might be screwed.

In the future treat your email with more care, it is very important. If you get a new email that you use in the future you can always change the email in Steam.

well, i only used it one time and after that it automatically logged me in the account every time - so yea, been this like more then a year :/

Well, I don't know what exactly went on with support or the account, but if there's purchased stuff on the account they DO have other means of verifying things. And if there is no purchased stuff, they might still have non-public information that they can ask you.

Of course, some people think they are funny when they enter random garbage into everything. Until they loose access to the account and can't remember the random garbage...

yea maybe it's lost, but before the end i still have one more question -

where does steam saves computer vertification or something like that?
i retrieved lost steam account name with one program that i bought, if there could be a way to retrieve it somehow, it could be great :)

any last suggestions? ^^

the program, which allows to recover old pc partition.

Here's a few tips:

1. Create your own thread rather than posting repeatedly in other people's old threads.
2. If the email account was a free one like Yahoo, Hotmail, etc. then try creating a new email account using the old address... see if the code comes through then.
3. If all else fails, contact Support and prepare for a long wait:
