New sign in request

This is the first time i ever seen this in all my years of having a steam account. Today I got a phone notification that said new sign in request. Does this mean someone knows my password or someone has a similar username?...but if it was a similsr username...wouldnt it be a password request and not a sign in request? I am only signed in on mobile and desktop and i have not manually typed in my email or password for years i always use the qr code. Am i just being paranoid? I also check confirmations and it is blank..same for api page. I have not checked my email yet though

Edit: i just did a test on a different computer and for the first time manually entered my info..i obviously got the new sign in request and it said approve or deny the request but for the first new sign in request it didnt show the approve or deny request. Bug?

Deauthorize all other devices and change your password to a secure one just in case.

Thank you. Definitely doing that.

Maintenence Tuesday. Weird things happen after maintenance. Still, might be prudent to run a virus scanner on your pc and also maybe use malwarebytes to scan it.
