I can proudly say that I have never hacked my steam account. One of the reasons for this is luck and my ability to smell a scam, but mostly, I use a handful of efforts and tested methods to secure my steam account.

Add your phone number to your steam account
My first major tip to secure your steam account is to add your phone number to your account. If your email is compromised or the steam guard is a mobile atmosphere (more on it), or you do not have it, you will probably be locked out of your account. In addition, account recovery can be difficult, because either without one, recovering your steam account is practically impossible. Until you tie your phone number to your account, it is as good as it has gone.
There are two ways by which you can add your phone number to your steam account.
Steam desktop
-
In the desktop version of the steam, choose Steam Top-left corner icon, then choose setting,
-
In Account Tab, select Account details,
-
Below contact info pick up the tab Add a phone number,
-
Once you add your number, choose next,
Steam will send a link to your email to confirm your number.
Steam website
-
Go there Steam Using a browser and logging.
-
Click on your name in the top-right Account details,
-
On the left, in Account details pick up the tab Add a phone number Below contact info Section.
-
Punch in your phone number, then click nextMake sure your area is correct.
Then, Steam will send a link to your email to confirm your number. I can’t recommend it enough. This can save your account if everything else fails.

Enable Steam Guard Mobile Constable
The steam guard is like a bouncer on the mobile authentic door. Certainly, the location of the hacker club (this is your password) can know, but they can still not be found without the secret code (your authentic). They will physically need your phone, which has their own password (or at least it should be).
When there is a sign-in request, you can approve or reject it directly from your phone. This is a bit inconvenient, but I will take a couple of additional seconds to sign in compared to going without safety. As soon as you boot the steam mobile, you will be asked to add authenticator.

Please make your password better
I am a forgetful person, and I continuously fascinate with the idea of ​​being an easy-to-have password-or worse by using the same password on many sites. By doing this, more or less someone gets access to my life. Therefore, I made a habit of creating a strong password and writing them. After all, hackers can meet in my computer, but they cannot reach my physical notes.
Being a strong password means that your steam account is better preserved against the Brute Force, but looking at most sites including steam, there are limited number of password efforts, you have to not be wild with it. The best option is to use like a password manager BitwardonYou can use Bitwardon to store your steam password, keeping it safe in its vault. In this way, you will only have to remember a strong and unique password instead of a whole bunch, and you know that they are safely closed.

It is not a challenge to make your accounts more secure. This requires just a slightly further plan.

Know how to spot a scam
Even on steam, you are susceptible to fishing scams, resulting in your account compromised. Some can be clever at times. For example, your friend sends you a message with a link, so you click on it. Why will you not, right? But unknown to you, your friend’s account was hacked, and now this impotent is trying to cheat his next victim.
Scams on steam usually fall into one of the two categories: Vishwas scam, such as I described, and business scams. They then break down in sub-grains, so it is really important to get acquainted with various types of scams on steam.
As it was not very bad, people would try to scam you on other platforms, such as using discord nitro to nab your steam account. Finally, if it is great to come true, it is a scam.

Antivirus software being as a safety net will not only help secure your steam account from hackers, but it will also work to protect your computer from all types of fishing attacks from malware and fishing attacks.

Don’t share your library (sorry, friend and family)
See, I love sharing my steam library with my children, but now they have personal accounts with their own libraries. Sometimes, I will let them borrow something that they do not have, but it comes with risks. The fact is that even a game borrowing a game on steam means logging on your computer with your account makes another point of failure.

How to make steam safe and child friendly with family view
If you have a PC that is full of sports, you will not need to buy a console for your children.
When you can practice safe surfing on the Internet, if the other person is not as careful as you are or once you become sucking once by a clever link, then your personal information is also in danger. If you should share your library, consider it like a rent. Friends and family have access to a limited time, then access is canceled.
Maybe you already know how to navigate the Internet to keep your steam account safe, but it does not hurt to go on an additional step. “It is better that it is better to happen and does not require it from its need and it is not” it is said.
