Vitamin E oil or triple antibiotic cream will help it heal a bit faster; in the interim if you really must cover it use makeup.

My steam was hacked with a shit load of other websites where I have activated 2FA were hacked as well, the insane thing is I never even recieved the 2FA mails. But the hackers just changed PW and even email in some case. I'm sure it wasn't a key logger because the pw were just saved and I never put it in.

Set a couple pieces of flatware (butter knives, spoons) in freezer for a bit.
Cold therapy reduces inflammation, using the flatware targets a more specific area of brusing.
Switch out utensils as needed.
It's not glamorous, but I've no idea what's at your disposal.

First clue leads to a light switch.. Second, the kitchen faucet...

Agreed. The Gravy train dog biscuits now come with extra gravy flavoring and my dog won't eat them. They just doused them with extra chemicals and he knows it lol

With you on that. My take on this post was
OH MY GOD YOU MONSTER HOW COULD YOU EVEN SUGGESt... oh, that's actually a really good idea about the donating unused/gently worn toys to shelters..

Dogs hurt the toys they love the most.
Also, look for non-stuffing toys. They tend to be made out of more durable material, and less mess to clean up. You do have to check the toy from time to time to make sure there are not long strips that are loose.

There are ways to get your 2fa especially if it goes to your phone number. Probably won’t happen to a steam account but people have been known to figure out ways to sim swap or trick people into sending the code.

Or just use an offline password manager.

I switched to keepass years ago after the first lastpass hack. It's completely offline.

I don't know if steam has a problem with it, but your biggest enemy is actually the employees themselves.
There's plenty of stories where someone got enough personal info to just call support for some website, reset the password, and be handed the keys.

Yeah, seriously just the though of password managers putting all user information in a server together is more than enough to be targeted by hackers and its crazy people think its a good idea to just hand your passwords to 3rd party vendors that will claim no responsibility in case of such event

password strength has nothing to do with login attempts
login attempts are tracked regardless of whether or not someone put in the correct password

for real
ive honestly been waiting for this to happen
cant believe people think password managers are a good idea
either use the same password for everything like a normal person, or write them down in a notebook, or on a file on your PC
the chances of lastpass or whatever other company getting hacked is a million times more likely than hackers breaking into your house and stealing your notebook

Is there even an option in Steam to turn off 2 fa?

I work in IT, surrounded by people who are "technologically literate" and IT "professionals", and I can tell you, 80% struggle to use their laptop docks, and struggle to change the meeting TVs to HDM1. People are reaaaaaallly dumb.
Think of how dumb you think they are, then septuple it. You just catalogued half of the people....
Keyloggers are the simplist, and easiest "viruses" and easily undetectable for 99.9% of IT population.
Edit: That wasn't me calling you dumb, I'm genuinely worried for your account, you shouldn't be getting 2FA for it with a gibberish 15 character password.
