So in the past 3 years, you've never taken the moment to save your login information just in case you were ever logged out? You logged in 3 years ago and never needed to since then?

Anyway... when you try to login, you use the "forgot my..." whatever prompt just like you would for any account you need to recover. Follow the prompts and wait for a response from Steam Support.

So basically to lazy to do the bare minimum of anything, I assume you forgot your email as well? Otherwise do recovery process.

Alright do the recovery process, once you get back in your account write down your login info in a book, or on paper, or you can use a password manager like keepass.

If your browser account is the same one, you can go to https://store.steampowered.com/account/ and get your login name there. It's the big "xxx's account" in the upper left.

Passwords cannot be viewed anywhere, though.

Once you have recovered the account, grab a piece of paper and a pen, and write down:

Steam
Login-name: xxx
Password: yyy
E-Mail: [e-mail]

Store that paper in a safe place, that you'll remember when you need the information again.

And while you're at, take note of other accounts too that might be important -- Amazon, PayPal, EMail, Google, your bank, ...

Also, if you ever connect the mobile app, write down the recovery codes as well.

Seems like you should start managing your accounts better. Relying on nothing ever requiring you to reauthenticate, or nothing ever happening to your system was always a recipe for catastrophe. Well, it was never a matter of if, it was always when.

You can't rely on your memory, this proves it. Use a proper password manager, document account info securely, and never put your accounts at risk of being lost.
