Steam cooldown for changing password

[Alex]

Can be removed the trading cooldown for changing my password? Because i want to buy some weapons for cs:go and i can´t now

The scam prevention cooldown won't be removed. There are simply too many users being scamed right now for them to ease up the scam preventions.

Thats too bad but you will have to wait. There is no way around it.

Really? ok ...

Happened to me too. My 7 days cooldown ended yesterday, i spent like there was no tomorrow on weapons :P

Unfortunatly, you cant do nothing about it. Like other said, its for security purpose because too many users gets their account stolen and then people sell all their inventory. Im pretty sure if that would happen to you, you'll be freakin mad.

If you RESET your password you get the cooldown

You can change your password in the Steam client without issue

I need help so I recently changed my steam password but managed to buy a game then the same day I wanted to return it cause it wasn’t what a I expected then it won’t let me... and I’m worried my time limit is gonna run out

Define "it wont let me". Are you sure it isnt just delayed?
