NEW SCAM PLEASE BEWARE
"SCAM LINK DONT CLICK'

Someone asked to me up vote their friend csgo map the link looked legit and i clicked it. It opened a 'STEAM" log in page again still looked legit.After i logged in (yes i fell for the scam) I realised something... IM F****** logged in on steam on my normal web browser already. Immediately I reset password and logged out of every device. Another thing to note steam guard showed a message that I was logging into United States Gleenwood (I live in the Carribbean). I changed my password but idk if this is enough. Im currently monitoring my steam guard and other things to make sure this account is safe dont be like me dont click any link even if its says steam.
NOTE. A real steam link will automatically log you in once you are already log into the browser. Thats the clue that tipped me off.
Is there anything else i can do to make sure my account is safe?

3. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
4. Change passwords from a trusted/clean device.
5. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
6. Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey (there should be nothing in the APIKEY)

Do this to secure your account.
Do not trade any items before you follow these steps.

And remove the link in your post, you're just helping the scammers and it is gonna get you banned real quick.

This is not a new scam it is one of the most common scams on steam

that's illegal coercion and illegal voting. i can't believe you were coerced into something illegal. I'm sorry to here that you were involved in a scam and i'd be sure it wasn't a kid. CSGO has always been had the worst to user protections from the "it's my parents account so i'm not at fault"
