So over the last day or so i have gotten emails from steam saying my account is trying to be logged in from a new device and gives me a code to input for steam, the email started off in English now ive noticing they've turned into Chinese language emails

The account its asking the code was a burner account that i used years and years ago and not my main account, so i don't care if they get access to this account as there's no information or games tied to that account!. BUT im starting to get annoyed now as i keep getting emails from steam (like 10 today so far), i cant block the email address as i may need to actually need to get a password reminder sent in the future for my real main account, so what can i do to stop getting these emails?. I would like to just close this account down but for the life of me cant remember what email is tied to the account thats being attack, It just have the user name in the email i get, it cant be tied to my main email address as that what i use for my main Steam account and i cant see any contact infor for steam to ask them to cancel the account.

Anyone else ever had anything like this before and how did you delete an old account where you dont know what email address is tied to it??

Change the password for the steam account so that they can't login.

This is the thing, i cant remember what email address i used to sign up for that account, I haven't used it in years.

When you try and change a password with Steam it asks for the email address for the account and cant the username to start the process off

Try all of your email addresses one by one?
 
Surely it's the email address that they're requesting an authentication code from? I can't see why they would send an authentication request to a different email than what was used to login.

Well that's the thing the email address I'm getting the emails from is my main email address and that the one used for my main steam account, surely you can't have multiple usernames using the same email address??

In Gmail i'm pretty sure all blocked address have their emails sent to spam, so if you ever need to check for password reminder it should be in spam.
