1 min read
Summary
With more and more gaming happening online, protection of gamer accounts like those on Steam is vital.
Here are six ways to ensure the security of your Steam account, says Simon Slade:
Add your phone number to your Steam account as if your email is compromised or the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator is unavailable, you may not be able to access your account
Use the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator as a bouncer to let users veto sign-in requests
Develop better passwords and rely on a password manager like Bitwarden to ensure passwords are secure and unique
Learn to recognise and avoid scams, such as the phishing scams that are common on Steam
Install antivirus software to protect against viruses that may compromise your computer and hence your Steam account
Don’t share your Steam library, even with people you trust, as this creates an additional security risk.
