Erm, what the flip? is this something i can turn off or what?
i was randomly added by someone, who said they're looking for friends to play games with.
i accepted friend request and responded but then i got this message??
So i ask again, what the flip?

off-topic: never accept any random request... dont click blindly on url's inside steam etc etc for security reasons

You accepted and then they removed you as a friend, if the chat is open for either of them, then you can still chat for some amount of time or until both close it. Not sure exactly what the mechanic is, like for example I get sometimes messages back from someone who I removed from friend list, even though I closed the chat, so I'm assuming they had the chat still open, but when they close it, they can't (shouldn't) get open it anymore.

Not sure how it works in browsers.

Then just login.
Took just few seconds.
And it doesn't reset instantly, don't know how long it takes for it to ask you to login again.

You mistook my response as a gripe. It was sincere.

Most sensitive account data pages are locked behind another login. This was a GREAT decision for Valve to make.

Ok, my bad, hard to know most of the time.
Guess one time someone is being positive about something while telling the truth, instead of using sarcasm to convey their negative feelings.

I just wish every one of the account details pages (all tabs) were also locked behind an extra login verification...
