Why Memorizing Passwords Is Not The Best Thing You do
Passwords have been used for decades to allow a person or group to approach or “pass” by. They served as the only form of authentication. However, their limited use caused many problems: complexity, lack of security, and forgetting them. Today, passwords remain the dominant form of authentication for billions of users worldwide. Yet, they are still vulnerable to a number of attacks and are being used against us: breaches, data theft, and fraud. In this article, we’ll talk about how to reset your Steam password, and the best way to protect your account credentials.
Steam is a popular gaming service that provides access to many games. But sometimes Steam users cannot access their accounts because they forget their passwords.
It happens very often because users often forget their passwords. Gamers can't even get back their accounts, because Steam Support responds to a request to change the password after 2-3 days. This creates a lot of annoyance for gamers, who want to continue "life" in the virtual world of Steam.
