Steam account hacked - advice need

As well as 2-step you could also consider something like LastPass to auto-generate and manage your passwords. I have it on my PC and Android and it is very good, I don't even know what my Steam, banking, gmail passwords are except they are at least 16 random numbers, symbols, upper and lower case letters.

Nope.

Not everyone uses a mobile phone you know.

Unless you mean Steams minimum requirement need to be:

CPU
RAM
HDD
OS
Mobile Phone

If I remember correctly this is even worse with UPlay's two factor authentication as it uses an app on your phone which doesn't come in the Windows phone variant. (Fortunately the Steam Mobile Verifier does).

Uplay uses google authenticator. Windows phone is alright there as the Microsoft Authenticator works for anything that uses that.
 
All of my gaming accounts use 2 step now.

I literally have thousands plugged away in my accounts, in particular with Steam.

With Steam CS also be notoriously slow it could be painful to ever get your account back.
 
Happened to me a while back, before i set up 2 step verification.

Reported to Steam, within 3 hours (tops), I had my account back under my control... that was evening time UK.

Cant fault Steam at all tbh from that experience
