How would I get my CD key for my steam account?
So I recently moved out of my dad's house and in that process of moving out, he has decided he is going to keep a bunch of my stuff. This includes my steam account. The email connect to my old account is my father which I have no access to. He had set up 2 factor authentication. I know my username and password but I can never get past the 2FA. So I contacted steam support and they asked for a CD key, which I read was on any physical game you bought for steam, or is in the recipts of any digital game I bought. You can probable see where this is going. Once again those emails would have been set to my fathers account which I have no access to. So how, if at all possible, would I be able to find my old account's CD key. If I can't what could I do to recover my account or a least my saves. It would be a pain to but the games again, but I had only like 100$ worth of games on there, but I would have no ideas on how to recover my saves. My save for spooky's jumpscare mansion I was able to recover, but I could not recover my TF2 account. Thank you for any help or seggestions, sorry for misspelling and for length lol.

Those emails are worthless. To prove that you actually own the Steam account in question, you have to hold the physical box of the game in your own very hands. More specifically, you have to photograph the license key print.

I think this is a wise choice. Especially since the account was created on their fathers email.
If he would contest your ownership it could get really messy.
Just make a new account and rebuy your games, look on https://isthereanydeal.com/ for currently ongoing sales. Especially if its older games its very likely you can get most of that collection back together for just a few bucks.
