How should I make my steam account name?
or something in these lines... I had a title that fit so much better into what I am going to talk about, but I forgot it from last night.

What should I use as a steam account name? Should I use my profile name as the same as my account name?

And any other tips and suggestions?

I'm not a creative person when it comes to creating profile names. I end up making dumb/silly profile names for my account and don't always like the name either.

if you like temporary/ silly or random names you could use a name generator

That sucks.

I'm trying to ask how should I make my steam account. If I should use my profile name the same as my steam account name. Security reasons, tips suggestions, ect.

Never use the same name as your account name (log in name) on a steam profile

Yep make profile name different for an extra security and also dont add anything relatable to ur password or even email....i suggest use a name thats unique (in gaming community ofc)

Maybe make your profile name memorable and unique to you incase you forget your profile?

If you want to try to find an unique name, you could try a fantasy name generator or translate something you like into a different language. I have a secondary username that's my full name spelled backwards excluding awkward letters, f.e. John Smith = Htimsnhoj = Himshoj.

If you don't care about uniqueness, just pick something cool you'd like to be called as a nickname.

anything else, like tips and suggestions?

I mean anything else for the steam account name. Like if I should use my real name for my steam account, and just whatever for the profile name. Or something between those lines
