Not able to get steam guard verification code

[76561199039923230]

I am not able to get steam guard code. I am connect to the right email. When I go to support from chrome and say that I can't log in cause I can't get the code, they send me code to the right email and I can change email if I want to, but I don't. NOW, when I am done doing all that, and go to log in to steam (from chrome), I don't get any code or email whatsoever.

steam client or gmail?

First port of call, especially as you're using gmail, check your spam folder. For whatever reason they sometimes end up in there.

You can try to mitigate this by adding Steam to your contacts.

I checked every where. Spam, bin, blocked
I havent spend $5 on steam yet, does that has to do with this? Not being able to on more than 1 place? I am using the same PC but its just chrome and not steam app

Can you check your E-mail UI for some kind of blacklist/filter for Steam domains?

Check if your steam is latest version and email steam that's what I did or turn it off and on and wait 15 days

No, having a limited account shouldn't affect logging into it in any way.

The only solution I can suggest if you are truly not getting the email is to use a different email address. That's the only way I know of to get round this issue.

I changed the email by going to account details>change my email address. I changed my email successfully by getting the verification code. After all of that is done, when I go to " https://steamcommunity.com/ " and click the log in button, and enter the right user nameand password, it asks for a verification code. I went to both the email's inbox and guess what, NOTHING AT ALL FROM STEAM.
At this point, I think its a bug SPECIALLY FOR ME or it just impact for lockdown and covid. Please some one help me form steam, srsly.

You could try using the Mobile App, if its activated the Steam guard login code will generated by the app, not send to your email.

First off, it doesn't work like that here.

You will NOT get help from Valve on these forums, because they are USER discussions. We're ALL users, even the mods. That's the point. If you need to contact Valve over account issues, then your use the support ticket system. Everything else, you ask us. THat's how it works.


Now that said, this is a fairly common problem, what you've explained and you have a couple of things you can try before all else fails and you have to contact support.

First off, whatever email provider you're using make sure you've added Valve/Steam as an contact. This often fixes things, especially if you use gmail. Don't ask me why, it just does.

Other than that, as I said, there's really only just creating another email address.

I have a couple of junk email addresses for other accounts on the net because I've had similar problems elsewhere. It's easy to create them free of charge, and just use them for that one thing, and note down the details in a diry or notebook for the future.

I've got one email address I set up in 1999, and I use it purely for two things. I check it about once every 5 years or so.

Not a perfect workaround, but it can work for you if it's acceptable.

But read the fine print.
Some close your account in few (3) months without login.

Others have 6 months, a year, 18 months.

Erm, yeah, obviously.

Some still charge for services too. They're moot as I OBVIOUSLY wasn;t mentioning them.
