Steam login problems


Recommended Posts

I've got too many accounts for various sites, and therefor I can't remember them.

 

I know the username to my steam account. I go through the password reset, and after trying to login with the new password, I am unable to do so. I've gone through the reset process three times as of the time that I am writing this, and have yet to successfully login. Of course, steam support requires that I have a steam account in order to contact them.

 

I really am running out of patience to continue playing this 'game' of resetting the password and hope that it works. Any idea as to why the login fails after resetting the password?

I could be mistaken but I think the steam forum and steam store (and client) use different login information.

 

I've had trouble with this in the past as well. 

 

support.steampowered.com uses different log in information than store.steampowered.com

East coast, right? I live close to the Ohio boarder. Steam gave me a login error as well. I had to login in "offline mode". Their servers are probobly getting slammed from the winter sale. 

 

Edit: Login on my Mac is fine. Rebooted PC and it worked fine for me. Try rebooting/reinstalling steam?

Likely a temporary issue due to the winter sale as stated.

If Steam is throwing a wobbly, you might find under Windows it wont connect properly until it has been closed down completely and relaunched.
