Forgetting yourSteam logincredentialsis not a big deal these days, with all the recovery options modern services offer. Chances are (I do it often) that you’ll change yourpasswordbut still would keep the old one in your memory and rely on the “Remember on this device” feature that keeps yourcredentials. But what if you replace your system or even the device? That’s when thepasswordsget lost and that’s when you’ll want to recover yourSteampassword. Don’t worry, we have a swift explanation for you.

How can I reset my Steam password?

TheSteamGuard feature offers 3 options to provide you with the code that allows you to access youraccountand reset thepassword. One that comes by default as soon as the registration is done is bySteamGuard Authorization via the email address you used to create theaccount.

The Guard will prompt you to insert the code even if you have yourpasswordevery time you change the system, browser, or device. If you want to reset the code via the email address, just click on the “Forgot yourpassword?”. That’s the first step to recover theSteampassword.

Once you are there, confirm that you forgot yourpasswordand click on the “I forgot mySteamaccountname orpassword“. There, you can enter your email, youraccountname, or your mobile phone number.

Whatever you choose, the result is the same. It only depends on what service you’ll use to reset yourpassword. With the email, you’ll obviously get the email with the code. With the phone number, well, you guess, you’ll get the SMS containing the code.

Now, if you have theSteammobile app on your smartphone, the procedure is similar.Steamuses the phone app foraccountauthentication (you can get ithere) and it’s the most recommended protective measure. Once you’ve got the code, it’s all simple from there.

Enter the code in the field and set a newpasswordfor youraccount. Have in mind that you can’t set the samepasswordthat was already used and that you seemingly forgot. Oh, the irony. Either way, that’s it. Those are the ways to recover theSteampasswordor rather create a new one.
