Change or Recover a Steam Password
Source-checked About 10 minutes
Answer
Open Steam Support's sign-in-help flow, select the account issue that matches your situation, verify account ownership, then set a new password through Steam's prompts. Never share the recovery code or password.
Prepare and identify the exact scope
Use a trusted device and official Steam Support, verify the account name, and secure the associated email first. If compromise is suspected, scan the device and preserve purchase or ownership evidence.
Open Steam sign-in help
Open the Steam Support sign-in-help page and select the problem that matches your account access.
Verify account ownership
Provide only the requested ownership information through Steam's official recovery flow.
Set a new password
Follow the reset prompt and sign in with the new password after Steam confirms the change.
Verify the supported result
After changing the password, sign in through the official Steam client and review authorized devices, Steam Guard, account email, phone, trade history, and recent purchases for unauthorized changes.
Understand limits and consequences
A password change can sign out sessions and may trigger security restrictions. Never approve a Steam Guard prompt or share a recovery code because someone claims it is required to complete the reset.
Use the safest supported follow-up
Use a unique password not used for email or other services and store it in a trusted password manager. Revoke unknown devices and change the email password too when both accounts may be exposed.

If it does not work
- If recovery cannot identify the account, gather legitimate proof of ownership and submit one Steam Support request. Avoid account-recovery sellers, repeated guessing, VPN changes, or sending payment-card images outside Steam's official form.
