I have been told on several occasions that "The only dumb questions are the ones not asked." Keeping that in mind, in light of the recent Steam hack, here's a dumb question I'm going to ask JUUUUUUSSST to be on the safe side.
I recently was able to hook my gaming computer back up to the internet to log back onto Steam and change the password. Fortunately, no credit card info is saved, but I just want to be sure. Anyway, when I log back in, it tells me that I am logging in from a different computer or web-browser and that it sent me a code to my email address to log in. Thing is, it's the same computer as before and I'm using the same web-browser as before.
So, before I start imputing any codes or anything like that, here's the question: That is something VALVe has done, right? I would hate to assume that it's a safety precaution that VALVe set-up when it was actually something the hackers were using to do whatever. (I'm not a programmer.)
I just figure: Better safe than sorry. Thanks!
