Steam logged in at another location

Thesnipergecko · 9 Oct 2013 at 08:09

I left my PC on last night with Steam logged in. When I woke up this morning it had said it had been logged in at another location.

Now I have a very secure password and I have steam guard enabled. I haven't had any emails to suggest it's wanted to log in from another location.

I have the iPhone app though, could that of alerted it? Has anyone else had this?

Is there anywhere you can view account activity?

I had this yesterday on Origin, i also have had that appear quite a few times in the past and nothing has happened to my account, but i change my password anyway to be safe.

It might point towards dynamic IP.

Change your e-mail and Steam passwords just to be sure. If it was someone else logging you in though, they'd need your e-mail password to get the Steam Guard email for a valid code, and that seems unlikely unless your e-mail and Steam passwords are the same or your e-mail one is very weak.

Both passwords are different and are both very strong. At least 21 characters for each. Uppercase, lowercase, numbers and special characters.

I feel it could just be a glitch.

I'd guess dynamic ip address... if you got reconnected to your isp you would likely pick up a new ip address. origin/steam would still think you were on the old ip as well.

I had someone have their phone log them in last night when they we're asleep. I woke up them up sending them a message, oops!

Something changed in the matrix! That's all

Steam died last night, everyone got logged out. When I signed back in I had the same message cos I was logged on my phone.

You can always select the de-authorize all other computers in Steam as well just to make sure.

Ah, I didn't know about that. Is that on the web or Steam client?

It's in Steam itself.

Open the settings, go to the "Account" tab and select "Manage Steam Guard Account Security..." and you'll see the option.
