Steam Scream V is on until Nov 2. Spooky games crowd the store this week, so the quieter weeks after it are worth a look.

How do I change or set my password?

Open Settings, enter your current password and the new one twice, then click Change password. Steam-only accounts can set one there too.

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Under Change password, enter your current password, then your new one twice.
  3. Click Change password.

Use at least ten characters. A few unrelated words strung together are easy to remember and hard to guess.

Signed up with Steam? The same card is called Set a password. Add your email first, then choose a password, and you can sign in with your email too. Having both also lets you unlink Steam later if you want to.

Forgot your current password? Sign out and use Reset your password. The emailed link lets you choose a new one without the old.

Tip: pair a strong password with two-step verification. Even a leaked password is then not enough to get in.
