Dear gamingmad101,

We've received a request to access your Steam account from a new browser
located at IP address: --------------
Our records show this IP address is in NEWPORT WALES GB
If that location does not reasonably match your location or the location of your
Internet Service Provider, then follow this link for more information

Click the verify link in the email to see your IP address and the IP address of the login location.

The IP location is very inaccurate in Steam for some reason.
The text on the right is your IP address and assumed location based on IP address (which can be wrong location but correct IP) and the text on left is the login attempt details.
If both right and left says the same stuff and the text colour is blue then you can safely login, if the text is red however it means that it's not the same and you shouldn't login.

For example, it always has said the capital city of my country for my location when I live 170km away from the capital city.
