People trying to log into my steam account every day
Thanks to Steam guard, I get an email with a code when I try to log into my Steam account from a new device.
But this week I have received constants emails from people trying to log in my account (mostly from Russia)
I went to Steam and changed immediately the account's password, but 10 minutes after changing it, I got another email, from another computer in Russia trying to log in.
What is going on? Is my account in danger? Can I do something to stop this?
UPDATE
Checking virus in both O.S. in my computer
- Windows: Clean (Checked with McAffe)
- Ubuntu: Clean (Checked with Clamscan)
Solution 1:
You technically can't do anything against this. I can try to access your account myself if I really wanted to and you would get a message. It doesn't mean I know your password or will ever access your account.
There is really no reason to change your password again, because the person trying to access your account is just using a script to run through a bunch of popular passwords probably.
Steam will automatically block the IP address after so many attempts to login to one account. They will need to contact Steam Customer Support to unblock their IP address and they obviously won't do that.
Solution 2:
"Steam Account Password Reset" email
If you're received "Steam Account Password Reset" e-mail - you're safe. The only thing you can do is filter those e-mails so they will not bother you ("skip inbox" action in gmail filters).
"Your Steam account: Access from new device" email
Bad. Someone just tried to login with correct password. I'm not sure if it's possible to trigger this e-mail without correct password. You should contact steam support.
p.s. Some antivirus companies provide free "one-time virus scanner" (NOT a trial version!) like fully portable dr.web cureit (don't check "I'd like to receive news e-mails"!). Also livecd/liveusb version.

I had this problem and it drove me crazy and I think I've found the answer. Do you have 2 Steam accounts registered to your one email address? Maybe you have an old account that you've forgotten about. Somehow the password to that old unused account is out there, and the constant emails you get from Steam relate to this old account? So no matter what you do, you keep getting emails from Steam. Log out of Steam. Log back in using your email address. It should tell you if you have more than one account. Ask for a password reset on the old account. Then fill in an account deletion request. I hope this is your problem cause it's easy to solve.
