Multiple access attempts to my Steam Account from all world.
Since 3 January 2015, i've started to receive email from Steam Support who said:

"Dear nicuzz94,

Are you logging into Steam using a new browser or Steam app? Here’s the Steam Guard code you’ll need to complete the process: "

I've checked more info about these login attempt and this is the result.
First one comes from San Salvador.
Then two from Caracas (VE), one from BEIJING(CN), and the last one, about a hour ago, comes from DONETS'K(UA).

In less of three days, i've collected 5 login attempt.
What's happening?

this happens when yo use a browser on steam and there is a proxy in your connection setup.

go check tell me I am wrong.

I've got a partition, at the moment i'm using Safari, but in the other partition where I play Steam, I use Chrome or IExplorer.
The problem's not solved, i've just received another login attempt from Bangkok.
However, how can I reset my proxy settings?

but you said no proxy set so it is an odd question.
you have not checked much IMO.

stop using steam in browsers I bet it will stop.

Mr brilliant, I really know nothing about my problem and if you tell me that you're so sure about what you say, i follow you're advice. No odd question, IMO.

you told us this , that means you check and know were the settings are.

asking me now how to reset it looks like you were just saying thing but made it up.

When someone steals the user database of some website, they are likely to use the login information they find there on other sites.

Especially if it's a gaming-related website, the idea to try the logins on Steam is rather straightforward. Still, either their software is broken or they don't care -- they should know that Steamguard will send a mail, so the first check would be to try whether the password works on the EMail (likely to be found in the stolen data), and only try Steam if they can access your EMail.
