It’s purely because steam hasn’t been able to keep my login info secure for almost a decade. I’ve changed emails, passwords, both, and yet I will always get random 2FA attempts from other places. I just don’t trust them to keep my bank info safe either.

check your email addresses, then check for malware on your system.

that's definitely not normal...

I'm looking at this and I am just wondering... Did you also check the computers your using?

It's quite a bit easier to get in the pc of a normal user than it is to get into the computers of valve, or at least that's to hope.

Yep, I’ve completely changed computers multiple times. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
