Start Steam
- File
- Settings
- Account
- Validate Email Address
- Then you get sent an email to open from your contact email address
- go back to settings and your contact email should be ( Verified )

It is imperative that at this point if you have not done so already, you change either your Steam or verified email password so that they are different. This means that if one is hacked the other can't be hacked with the same password.

Erm, I don't geddit... why are we doing this? :unsure:

You're not one of those old guys who sits next to strangers on the bus and tells them that story of you falling asleep in the alley one night and aliens nicked one of your kidneys, are you? :blink:
Just be a nutter... life becomes much more exciting, and people won't expect anything more of you...

Because if someone hacks/steals your steam account, if its verified, you can still request a password reset and get your account back, without it verified, they can change the registered email address and you could loose your account permenantly
