either an error. or you have been hacked, change your password. put the authenticator on the phone, if you have it. write down the recovery code, if you registered from an email that is not tied to the main account, like Google, then write down the password and login from it, or from the Google account.

Have you given away your credentials to any 3rd party sites recently?

Simple - he either guessed your details because your password is easily guessable, or you resused the password on another site that was compromised, or you GAVE the details away without knowing.

Most of the time on here it's the latter. If you've ever visited a site that deals with skin selling, gambling or voting for cetain "games" and such, then that's how they get you.

You may immediately "wait, I've NEVER done that". Everybody says that. The point is that scams get you when you aren't thinking, when you're relaxed. So you wouldn't remember.

You likely once went somewhere that a friend told you about and you logged into steam again to get there, and oh wait. You didn't log into steam at all - you gave your details away.

That's how it usually happens.

This almost happened to me today. Some rando tried to say that my account was being banned for fraud and impersonation on discord. When they tried to get in by trying to make me give them a password recovery password for "valve linking" Here is their discord: JimbooSupport#0147

You should answer this https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/7/5544461758377697632/?tscn=1611137801#c3119273879021752602

Does the account name in the email alert match your account name attributed to your account?

An IP Address can't do anything much. It certainly cannot be used to infiltrate your account.
