Someone is trying to recover their account that they may have accidentally registered to my email.
So over the past few days I've received 8 emails from Steam Support with codes to log into steam from a different computer. My first thought was, Someone is trying to steal my steam account!? Then I realized that I don't actually have a steam account registered to that email address. So it's looking like someone may have accidentally set their Steam account to use my email address for recovery.

So some poor gamer out there is probably locked out of his or her account. Steam support, what the hell do I do with this?

Sounds like a phising mail copying a recover email.
If you never had an account registered to that email address, then Steam can't know that email address.

Email is from noreply@steampowered.com, all links and info in it are legit. Looks like the account belongs to a user in Omaha NE, however the log in attempts are coming from Jakarta Raya. I'm not really sure what to think, I guess at this point I'd mostly just like to stop getting the emails sent to me.

You got this too? I started freaking out thinking someone was trying to get into my account.
Same thing though, links legit, code to recover, from the same e-mail. Glad its not just me.
I got a weird e-mail where someone from a IP in Ukraine tried to reset my support account password. But not even sure where they got the account username from because it is a work username that I have not used for anything else on Steam. So I ignored the reset request other than filing a support ticket to go on record that any request to reset any passwords from outside the US is likely not from me.
