Everytime I try to log in to Steam,it keeps on treating my Log-in as if it was from a new PC. Truthfully, I did have a huge fight in a forum with somebody in Europe(I'm located in S East Asia) and that person swore revenge but he gets access to my Cookies by hacking in just one day? I'm not joking since I seriously consider that may be the only reason since nothing like this had happened before. Now I'm too afraid to even play my games on Steam. I did do some searching and read some online tips on how to deal with the situation but that online question was asked by somebody else in 2015 and the explanation was that something is deleting the Cookies slowly.
 
Ok. Sorry I was too emotional. Logically it may not be what I feared but I'm still kinda afraid to play my Steam games.
 
Hello,

First thing I would recommend you do is change your password. Make sure you also go through the recent logins and if you see anything you don't recognize, revoke the login so that way they'll be locked out. The fact that you're getting Steam Guard notifications means you have 2FA enabled which will help prevent unauthorized logins.

Second thing I would recommend you do is then log out and clear all cookies then log back in.

I changed the password and checked the recent logins. Doesn't seem to be any logins from outside my area. But my mom did say that while she was using Dropbox on this same PC she had to keep on verifying her code. Mean anything?
 
Anyone else experience the same with Steam?Is this a new feature that everyone also has to face?
 
Check you network and make sure there is no systems listed and not supposed to be there also compare the MAC addresses.

Evey time I use steam nothing new when you have 2FA activated.

Do you also need to verify by using the code from your email each time you log into Steam? It's weird cause
this was ready all the way back in 2011 https://steam.fandom.com/wiki/Steam_Guard
But I am only getting the need for email verification now.

Yeah, I clear Cookies each time before I log out but the need for email verification never happened before. One last question. Does the email you receive each time you need to get the Steam code have the heading "Your Steam Account:Access from New Computer"? Thanks to you and everyone else who answered.
