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.

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.

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

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

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.
