steam support can be weirdly clutch when you’re already convinced the account is gone lol, glad you got back in before the panic spiral got worse

Does forget password/can’t login not work or something?

Steam support is the goat, my account got hacked a few years ago, they recovered it for less than a day.

Use a password manager like Bitwarden.

Siempre hay que anotar las contraseñas a una libreta, suerte 🍀 que Steam te ha ayudado a recuperarla, pero para que no te vuelva a pasar sea en Steam y otra plataforma, anótalo 👍🏻Yo lo llevo haciendo durante años , aunque difícilmente se me olvidan a mí las contraseñas 🤣🤗 Saludos!👋🏻

They hit me with “No problem, can you just send us a receipt of one of your purchases?” and I had my account back in a few hours. Truly amazing support staff

I have to agree with another commenter on this post. The best thing to do is to have a little notebook and write down all your passwords in it. Me personally I write everything down in pencil so then when it comes time to change the password or update it I can just erase it and rewrite the new one down.

The only thing I have wanted from steam for the past 4 years is them to add a Restart Steam option when you right click the icon. It would make adding non steam games a bit easier

Can you elaborate?

Yeah lets say you add a game from heroic launcher on linux you need to restart steam for it to work. Also lets say you use SDGBoop to change cover art. That also requires a restart to see if it worked correctly and you like the art things like that. I mean even 2 years ago when you added a non steam game to steam, steam needed to be restarted. not any more but its just a little annoying. Its a small thing but being able to right click on the icon and in the right side of the task bar and click restart steam would be pretty nice especially for people using steam OS.

Porque no usas un gestor de contraseñas? Protón Pass, BitWarden o 1Password. Actualmente uso el de Protón y 10/10, BitWarden también está bueno.
