Post Email verification: Avoiding Scams
Can everyone make sure to verify their steam accounts email adress. This will notify you of any change to passwords that have been made and will allow you to revert them giving you control of your account again, if you were to lose control of it.

This can be done by going to Steam > View > Settings > Account

From there you can see if you account is already verified, in which case it will say
exampleemailadress@hotmail.com ( Verified )

As for actually going about verifing a unverified account, i beleive this can also be done from this page (Mines already verified so i have cant find out).

Feel free to add anymore info that can be added to this to be more informative or clearer (via the thread) and i will edit this post.

And make sure your email account does not use the same password as your steam account.

All steam login pages have an EV SSL certificate. This means that most modern browsers will display a green area somewhere on the toolbar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Validation_Certificate

Cleaned up. This thread is about info on avoiding account losses as related issues. For other generic steam issues please post in the Technical Issues section of the forum.
