Fogot password email

[coggy]

Can anyone help every now and again I keep getting a forgotten password email from Steam does this mean someone is trying to access my account or just steam is sending me a reminder cause I've not logged on for a while ?

Anyone can send those if they know:
your account login username
your email address
your CD-Key to any of your games

This often happens if you have activated a CD-Key found on the Internet to your account and when someone else tries to activate it they get error message telling them it's already in use with a button to retreive the account where it's in use and without reading a thing the game greedy users just click the button without knowning what it does.
This email contains your Steam username and nothing else and is emailed to you, not them.

If you have a somewhat common-ish account name, people might be trying to log in thinking it's their account. When it doesn't work they click on the "forgot password".

There's nothing to worry about -- if they had your password to log into the account, they wouldn't cause that message to be sent. Unless, of course, they have access to your mail -- but chances are you wouldn't be seeing such mails then.
