Steam Guard - Keep your account secure

[Mikkel]

Would you like to make sure that you don't lose your account?
Use Steam Guard, it's easy to setup there are only few easy steps you have to follow.
​

1. Update Steam
   Steam should automatically update itself but you can force it to update by clicking "Check for Steam Client Updates"
   
   
   [*]Be sure your contact email address is verified with Steam.
   You must verify your contact email address with Steam. You can check whether your email address is already verified by visiting Steam Account Settings. A verified address will be marked as "Verified."
   
   
2. Restart Steam

That's it! With Steam Guard enabled, you will be asked to enter the special access code sent to your email address each time you login to Steam from an unrecognized computer.

I use it, but its kind of annoying. Every time my computer doesn't log into Steam automatically, I have to go submit the code, even though its the same computer I use all the time.

I suppose its better than losing my account, though.

I have it set up, but for anyone else who hasn't yet this is a great way to add some extra protection for your account
