Steam account dota 2 account sharing can lead to leak privacy and pc hack
Firstly I apologize for my English. Problem is that ...
I gave my steam account to my friend a week ago. Then i play today and my friend login and play dota from his pc after starting dota 2 my friend can remote not only my ingame dota match but also my pc.
It's like remoting my pc, he can control everything(e.g, closing browser, controlling my discord, etc..). It's dangerous guys take care. just sharing my experience. hope steam will fix it.


thank u for yr time.

Sharing accounts is a violation of the Steam Subscriber Agreement anyways...

Section 1-C...

Your Account

Your Account, including any information pertaining to it (e.g.: contact information, billing information, Account history and Subscriptions, etc.), is strictly personal. You may therefore not sell or charge others for the right to use your Account, or otherwise transfer your Account, nor may you sell, charge others for the right to use, or transfer any Subscriptions other than if and as expressly permitted by this Agreement (including any Subscription Terms or Rules of Use) or as otherwise specifically permitted by Valve.

Account security is your responsibility.

And yes, having access to the account grants a person to use Remote Play to do other stuff to your PC.
