What is Account Phishing?

Attempting to trick other users into providing password and login information is commonly called "phishing".

Steam Support does not use the Friends network to contact users, nor will we request CD Key information or credit card purchase information unless you have contacted us for assistance by using the Steam Support System.

Often times sites pretending to be an official Steam site will ask for login information typically offering free keys, deals on games, etc... Beware of phony sites, and make sure you are visiting an official, secure Steam site.

How do I know if a site is secure?

All official Steam logins are directed to the steampowered.com or steamcommunity.com domains.

If you suspect a site asking for your login information is not an official Steam site, do not enter any information on the site and disregard it.

Below are examples of official Steam URLs for various browsers:

Remember, just because you have Steam Guard enabled, doesn’t mean you are completely safe from account phishing attempts. Always be aware of what sites you are visiting.
