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.

Sign in with Steam is not working. How do I fix it?

Start again from our sign-in page and finish on Steam's page without a long pause. The message you see tells you what went wrong.

Sign in with Steam takes you to Steam's own page and back. You sign in on Steam itself, so we never see your Steam password. When it fails, the message tells you why:

  • "Steam sign-in was cancelled." You left Steam's page without confirming. Start again and click Sign in on Steam.
  • "That Steam sign-in expired." The trip to Steam took too long. Start again from our sign-in page.
  • "Steam could not confirm the sign-in." Steam did not answer in time. Wait a moment and try again.
  • "This Steam account is already linked to another LaunchRivals account." See I have two accounts.

Your Steam profile does not need to be public. Steam only shares your public SteamID, name, avatar and profile link with us.

Tip: blocking cookies or a strict privacy extension can interrupt the trip to Steam and back. Allow cookies for both sites, or try another browser.
