Steam authorization codes being sent to my phone

[joewski]

If steam authorization codes are being sent to my phone, does that mean my password has been leaked?

If you're not asking for them then probably yes.

You should change your password and make sure your email isnt compromised too.

DO NOT TRADE
many scams try and scare you into trading your items and they get hijacked

1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/

2. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage

3. Change passwords from a trusted/clean computer.

4. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage

5. Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey (there should be nothing in the APIKEY)
