they attempt to secure the two games I own, but their system transfers my account to another person afterward—who then purchases it from them.

They might be attempting to access sensitive information for illegal purposes, such as selling it to fraudsters or using it for unwanted calls.

I received a message from [email protected] requesting a password reset (link directs to the login help page). It seems the request was made on my behalf.

The email address isn’t very reliable—people can fake them. The fact that the link doesn’t immediately take you to a password reset page is a positive sign, but the phrasing suggests otherwise. This could allow scammers to create fake versions of the email and send them to many users. They might ask recipients to log in with their current credentials, making it easy for others to take advantage. Such tactics highlight why two-factor authentication is crucial. Fortunately, Steam offers a simple 2FA setup, but I still find it concerning that they’re sending emails with links that seem to reset passwords. Ideally, users should be prompted directly on Steam to change their password, not receive a link in an email.
