    Help! I don't know!

    Yesterday I had been playing L4D2 demo and TF2 in the afternoon, then I came back in the evening and Steam had to do some green update bar, and then it said my login details weren't working! I went through their support stuff but they haven't replied yet.

    Has anyone else ever had this problem? I don't even know if it has been hijacked or what. I hope not. More information would be very welcome!

    sorry can't realy make out what went wrong here :oops:
    do you have a screenshot or a error-message? best thing to do is to mail valve to check that your account isn't hacked

    Thats bad news Vesa, hope it gets fixed soon.
    Did you try to change your password? Maybe thats solves it (verify your e-mail address is correct and working before you do).

    Interested in an extra dose of security for your Steam account? Then verify your email address! Once you do, email confirmation will be required to change critical Steam Account information. Anyway, it's free! Do it!

    everybody got this i think but realy you should do it ;)

    Yeah indeed. If you missed it here''s how to do it.
    Start Steam
    Rightclick Steam icon and choose Settings
    Check if the e-mail address mentioned is correct (it should say unverified)
    Click on the Verify e-mail button
    Open your mail program
    Click the link in the mail to acknowledge the verify.
    Now behind your e-mail address it should say (Verified)

    I did that yonks ago! Guys, I'm not a n00b. Honestly...:roll:
    They still haven't replied but I opened a new Steam account, cos it's free, and I can get into that so no probs with Steam the program or my P.C.. Dunno if that's good or bad, really. We'll see...

    Update: Saw what happened to LuckyLuke, and think I might have the same problem. Will try re-installing Steam. Although seeing my above post I boubt it.

    Worth a try though.

    If your steamaccount has a password change (after hack) then you get a email from valve.

    I dit get this email from steam after a hack (still don't know how they could have hacked my steam!)
