Reply to comment by [deleted] in LPT: Got a Steam gift card for Christmas? Hold on to it after you put the code in. If your account gets hacked, you can use the old code to recover your account. by Worst_Support

I had the most random strong password that would be unguessable. Didn't matter. Still got log in attempts. It really doesn't seem to matter dude

Funny guy you. We're talking literal hf_2J8@f etc. As strong as you can get as it was about 15 characters and purely random

At his point, it seems you have a key logger installed on your pc.

You realise that most people on the internet aren't technologically illiterate. I don't have a key logger. Otherwise I would be complaining about all of my accounts. It just doesn't matter for steam for whatever reason. You're just coming to a really silly assumption

I don't wanna butt into the conversation, but I do feel the need to correct you.

The internet currently has 4.9 billion users.

Absolutely no fucking chance that more than half of them even know what a keylogger is.

None.

Sorry to break it to you. If you are getting log in attempts on Steam with 2fa, someone has your password. Either you got phished, your password was reused and leaked from somewhere or you have a keylogger.

I don't know how many times I've got to say it. Seeing as though it was the most random password going and wasn't reused. The only plausible thing would be steam leak. But again doesn't even matter with 2FA. I also don't know how obvious I have to make it, before anyone else comments on having a keylogger, that I don't have a keylogger. Because once again, I've only ever had this issue with steam

There are 2FA phishing kits around now that make it really easy to phish peoples 2fa codes. The power of MFA is redundancy.

If one of the engines on your plane dies, the first thing you do is go repair the engine, not fly around on only one.

The most important thing i know about infosec is that everything is hackable and no-one is immune to social engineering.

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.

I have super easy passwords on some of my gmail and other not that important accounts and don’t get login attempts, and yes I’d know because whenever I login to them on my own devices I get notified and need confirmation. You definitely have a key logger… time for malwarebytes or switch to a mac if windows is that difficult to keep secure for you

Yeah if your email has been "pwned" in a data breach (see haveibeenpwned.com) you'll never stop getting log in attempts from people credential stuffing your email address wherever they can. Which is why you should use different, strong passwords for every site you use, and an extra strong one for your email.

Some platforms send log in attempts if the password is wrong, pretty sure. If you have a simple username then that might be the issue
