Cannot login into one of my Steam accounts: "Could not connect to the Steam network."

[Bomjus]

So, like a lot of Steam users I have multiple accounts. Recently I was playing Payday 2 on one of these accounts and I could not see my achievements. So I thought "I'll just restart Steam and get on with my life." Well unfortunately for me I can no longer log into that account. It is not an internet issue because I can still log into ALL of my other accounts it is specifically this one that I cannot log into. This is also all on the same computer. I have looked at other forum posts and this problem still persists. The closest I came to fixing it was one fix where you delete all files in the steam folder except for the Steam.exe and the SteamApps folder. I did that but then when I tried to log in I was greeted by a new message "Steam is having trouble connecting to the Steam servers." And I was given the option to retry or cancel.

I just do not get it.... This account does not have steam guard enabled. Whenever I try to log into this account through the steampowered.com website the request just times out and nothing happens. I have seen other people fix it by doing the whole remove all files except apps and the exe then they start it in offline mode then go online and its fixed. But the worst part for me is that I cannot even go into offline mode because I cannot get past the, "Steam is having trouble connecting to the Steam servers." with the log in client. While I could understand this being an issue with my own internet or Steam server problems I can connect to all of my other 4 accounts perfectly fine with no problems whatsoever. Any help is appreciated I will keep trying solutions that I find and post if it becomes fixed. Thanks

EDIT: It appears I am not alone with this issue as there is another topic just like this a few threads below this one in the Help and Tips section. This might be attributed to me participating in the new streaming beta on my account that I can no longer log into. However I deleted all the steam files and I can still log into my other accounts so I cannot grasp how this might be relevant but I thought I would share it anyway.

having the same problem, can't log into steam through the launcher I keep getting this error message:

Error
There was an error communicating with the Steam servers. Please try again later.

Retry

did almost everything short of uninstalling steam/windows, has only been like this for 2 days so far, I can connect to the website fine and do all the Christmas stuff like the queues and view badges and inventory from there but i get that error message whenever I try to do it through the launchers. Good thing is as of right now I still have access to all the game I had already installed/were in my list, I haven't tried to buy anything through the launcher since this error appeared. I made a ticket but only got some generic response about troubleshooting and FAQ's, I don't really know what else to do.

That has nothing to do with the current OpenID login issue. Join this thread...

But it clearly says that it is not connected to Steam and Valve and how I enter login and password confirm on the phone and logs in. It writes me that the login details are incorrect.

But it has nothing to do with this specific thread topic.
