Detailed activity log
It would be nice if we had activity log on our steam accounts that would show these things:
-Someone tried to log in to your account with wrong password from this IP ("IP address here")
-Someone entered your username and password correctly, but Steam guard code was wrong ("IP here")
-Someone successfully logged in to your Steam account ("IP here")

These would let you know if someone has your password, or trying to guess/brute force it.

Other useful logs:
-Online from xx:xx until xx:xx on ("PC name")
-Played ("game name") from xx:xx to xx:xx on ("date") (x hours and xx minutes)
-Trade offer sent/received to/from ("username")
-Trade accepted/declined
-Game bought/key activated

These would help you track what you/your family member did on your account.


Some useful features:
-Set reminder/lock games
You know when you sit to play games at 10pm and after 1 hour it's 3am?
Or if you just want to limit how much time you or your children can play games?
For example you can set reminder after 2 hours of gameplay, and after 2.5 hours game is locked until next day.
Time should be counted even in offline mode.

-Lock Steam account from your phone.
This would be useful if for example your laptop get stolen, you can log off from your phone.

-See location of your devices with steam installed. (In case of stolen/lost device you can find it from your Steam app)

-PIN protection for Steam app on phone

You get emails for that stuff.

All trades are listed in your trade history.

All licenses added to the account... https://store.steampowered.com/account/licenses/

Use Family View/Sharing. No one is supposed to be using your account.

4. PIN protection for Steam app on phone

1. There are apps for that.

2. https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=6416-FHVM-3982

3. Not really needed as each new device must be authorized through Email.

4. Use your phones own locking tool.

I logged in to my account through VPN and TOR a lot of times, even mistyped password few times.
Never got any email or notification about suspicious activity.
