A lot of my steam friends shit on steam guard, but it fucking works when you need it to, so I can't complain of the extra step it takes to log in.

What's Steam Guard? If it just helps people from breaking into your account, then why would anyone hate it. Seems like something you would just forget you have until you find out it worked for you

It makes you use a code from your email to log in from new devices as well as to access your account settings

I have no idea! I figured they would've stopped after a few times, but it's just been ongoing. And today especially, it happened so many times that I was like "fuck it Imma just change my password"

Probably a crazy Russian hacker. Best to change your password to a random jumble of alternating caps and numbers

I wouldn't call it fear. I'm mostly just annoyed by all the emails notifications I keep getting. Either way, I did finally change the password. Hopefully it stops now

That's easier to brute force than a long string of memorable words.
