Tried logging in to Steam today for a session of TF2, hang on a minute, why's it asking for my login details, I had the remember checkbox ticked...

Seems as if someone had hijacked my account, which is weird, since I checked my SteamID page on the Steam community webpage and nothing was changed there, neither did it seem there was anyone who had logged in since I was last on judging by the last online timestamp.

Got me wondering how they'd got access though, as I've double-checked all my other sensitive accounts and so far nothing seems to be compromised; in the process of moving around all my passwords and keeping closer tabs on things just to be sure. So much for thinking I had a rather secure connection

Kudos to Steam support though, sent off a ticket with all the relevant information to verify that I was the owner of the account and had a reply in 2 hours notifying me all my details were reset! Now I'm just glad it wasn't lost for good (since any kind of cheating = perma-ban, hijacked or not) and I don't have to shell out for the entire list of games again

So remember, you're always at risk, even when you think you're safe

I must've tried a dozen times in total, between the Steam login and the Steam community website. No dice. I do use the same password in a couple of other places which is a little unwise I know, but I tested logging in on those and they worked fine.
