Show my recent login locations & timestamp in steam to allow me to monitor account access like Gmail does
if I can find IP address, timestamp by myself within the steam client or any log files, or using an API? I am sure as a user I should be able to see my exact account activity? Like what Gmail does, it shows me where I logged in from last, the ip, country, time ...etc. Allows me to kick them out. Does steam have a feature like that? I can see the last x active sessions? This will become every more necessary with family sharing

I truely understand what the OP is asking for and I do think it's a great idea, but if you have any experience with Steam, you should know that it's a rare occurance to see change. I just posted a discussion about just noticing that they added the ACTUAL release date on the right side of each game listing and that was the result of a number of months (years) of consistant threads whenever this happens and I am sure that they were reluctant to do that, but with all the compaints, I bet they were starting to get it from the publishers that were being blamed for allowing this to persist. I think it was more of an issue of appeasing the publishers than the gamers actually, but never the less, they did it but it's very rare to see them lift a finger to improve the app unless it was related to a potential loss of income. However, losing a gamer is not considered a loss of income to them, it's the loss of a company that would generate many thousands of times the income that any active gamer could ever generate.

Bact to the point:
Currently, when someone logs into your account from a differant location (ip) other than your normal location (ip), they first have to verify their account by gathering a pin from their email. PLUS, when they see one or more logins from other locations that failed (the email was never confirrmed), they present that as a popup window when you next log in. I think that when you report any unusual login locations (based on this pop-up and the location(s) given there), they do their job and track these people down or just block them from steam (their ip). At lease that's what I would like to think that this whole pop-up and email confiirmation is all about. I do not believe that if anyone tries to log into your account from an unusual location, that you will not get the same alert that I have the two times that this has happened. To have a log would just re-iterate the information that you get when you log in and they throw a pop-up allowing you to report and suspicious activity. They seem to take security very seriously, from my experience, particularly because it costs them the bandwidth that those hackers woud use to download TB of data from the games you own. Not to mention that that data would be useless once you report their activity from the pop-up that you will get when you log in. It's only a matter of Steam protecting their financial losses and I have all the faith in the world that they would do that at the drop of a hat.

Besides, what exactly are you going to do to someone once you have their IP? It could have been a mistake as much as it was on purpose. Usually it's someone who entered your username and an incorect pin and/or try to relpeat that until the max attempts lock them out. I think that it would just cause unneccary alarm to the account holder as they would not be giving you what that person did (ie. login with username and incorrect password, failure to confirrm email if they knew your password from a hack done to you elsewhere). The type of secrity that steam has in place is adequate from my perspective, it's worked here for me a long time and every other site that does the same or has the same security measures in place. It's not like they could really do anything even remotely damaging to your account. Steam has a ton of login info, every action you ever made when logging in is surely saved and used to compare against others who may accidentally use your username or password (given you were probably hacked elsewhere and would already know this from any of the sites that they tried to log into, in which case you change the password, that's all.

@Τhe Rolling Cheese Wheel

Talk about hackers, I accidentally hit your profile and noticed that you managed to play 1,884.6 hours past 2 weeks!!!!!! But with 24hours per day x 14 Days = 336 hours. How is it that you can get 134 hours per day of game time? Are you loading multiple games (5.6 games at a time) and leaving them all on for the 2 weeks?

Talk about those that should scare you, they are already in steam and have a much better chance of hacking your account that anyone outside. Unbelievable that people would try this hard to skew the stats to the point of obsurdity. Your profile makes you look like someone who only wants to impress strangers and the lengths that you will go to do do that. Huray! You are a hard core gamers for leaving those apps runnning all day/night there buddy. Try to out do that and hit the 5,000 hours of play in 1 day. Unless 5.6 games is the most you can keep loaded before your pc comes to a complete halt. Oh, you could be just sharing your account and having multiple users helping you as you can keep games on even though you are logged in at another location. You really put some thought into this hack. Great work, I am sure that we are all impressed to know that you are one of those dudes that has the high scores that are 1000's of times higher than humanly possible, but only ranked #1258 in the leaderboards.

So, you own 1,700 something games too? What have you loaded all the demo's available? How many days did that take, not to mention the HD's you would need to keep full of BS to impress!!!!!

Wanted to just send this to you, but steam security won't allow unless we are friends and I certanly do not want you to be on my friends list.

As if I care what you think :B1:

I don't want to receive messages from nosy and annoying strangers on the internet such as yourself.

Hunh...that's interesting. I wonder if you can do that by simply having multiple games open at the same time...

Personally contacting hackers & phishers is an all-around bad idea.

Yes it does.

Scutterman you seem to have a lot of faith in bureaucracy. I don't. My choice of action was to get in touch with the hacker, and talk to him/her. Figure out their motivations and try to guide them? Show them that at the other end, is a live person not just a program on the computer. Most users apologize for actions when caught in person, however the internet makes that difficult. This is the attempt to have the culprit interact with their victims.

The IP allows attempts at communication, identification ...etc. Sure the information could be obfuscated, but it depends on the time within which you attempt all this, if you do it immediately after a few minutes of an attempted login, you are sure to get an individual. At a later date, perhaps not.
First off, as Tito Shivan pointed out above, contacting hackers is always a bad idea. It just paints a target on you.

I have more faith in the internet task forces than I do in a hacker's humanity. They just don't care. It's sad, but true.

Ip addresses aren't obfuscated after the fact, they're obfuscated while the hack is being performed. The one that you would see presented to you if this system was put in place isn't their ip address, it's the ip address of a hacked computer, proxy, or spoof address, that they're using to perform the hack. Any hacker who doesn't do this just isn't interested in keeping their freedom. There's no way of you knowing if it's the real address of a script kiddie or the fake address of a serious hacker.

mtownshend - please no ad homiem arguments.

To each his own (opinion). Depending on your skill and experience, there something that you can do with information. Information that is rightfully yours. Empower users. Any sufficiently large community works best with self-service rather than a central administration (read jeff attwoods post about that).

This feature has been available for years. Simply check email for steam access from a new device and in the email will be listed the ip that logged in or attempted to login. Your welcome.
glados 2015 年 11 月 8 日 下午 9:56 
It dose sound somewhat nice
But did you think what will happen if someone hack into your account? i mean will you like the guy to know were you live?

I really prefer for that not to happen
And Steam Guard sends you an Email with the new locasin you login from... so you can use that to track it maybe? just set a filter to put that email in one folder
You cant get accurate information on where someone lives based of IP adresses. It only shows where the nearest ISP is located

This discussion looks helpful:

Is there a way to check. I max bet 50 dollars on fnatic, then when I woke up it says I bet on dignitas. Help

I got scammed, by some people getting into my account somehow, I want to see if there is a way to track their IP addresses so I can contact police or steam or do something myself. Is there any possible way you can see the IP address?

Your account was most likely hijacked because you gave away your account info into a phishing login page on a skin site.

No IPs. This is the most you'll get in your account now...

You guys raise some valid points.
However, once you are able to recover your account you can then track down the hijackers.
Yeah and if you had the IT chops to actually pull that off you wouldn't have had your account hijaked in the first place.

But how to protect your IP information from hijackers? Maybe only allow access after steamgaurd notification? I.e. behind 2nd factor.
And you do realize that if they're ina position to hijak your account they probably have means of getting that information from you any way. Your IP addy is visible tyo any service of system you connect to. That phishing website you put your info on.. they have it. That skins site you signed up for.. they have it.

Attempted logins are very important for identifying hijack attempts as well.
Just having basic IT sense will make such information redundant.

Yes the steam guard is useful and you do bring a good point to the table with the if your account gets hacked but at the same time this could be used for some type of good though it might not (no shade here but) due to games like CSGO and COD
