family sharing hack?
So some guy wants to family share with me.... He gave me his account info ( Username,Password, etc). Now I'm not sure if this is gonna screw me over so I wanna know... is there anyway he can hack me? Can he take my games or buy games under my name for himself? I'm just a little worried.
No. I wont give you his account info. I have no clue why he's trusted me with it. I just met this dude on Garry's mod

You can't get hacked just by getting username and password.

Giving your information to other people isn't allowed though.

I recommend you stay off his account, and recommend to him that he never shares personal information isn't a good idea as he can lose his account.

Send him to hell. You cannot get hacked, if he gives the login info and not vice versa, but always expect the worst that he tries to pull you into some shady business.
And just as Teutep says, sharing login info is already against the rules. Don't login into a account which you don't own, family share has already in the name that "family", meant for people who live in one house with you.

Did you ask him why? Was it his idea?

How well do you know this person.

The account could be stolen or compromised in some other way. If he is doing this; you should remind him that he isn't allowed to be giving out personal information to strangers on Steam. If you have a Steam account; there is absolutely no need to have another one shared to you.

Family sharing is only for trusted members that you know who are within the same household ideally. Even then; you're relying on them to maintain and protect your account integrity also against the perils of the site.
