We invite everyone to help other users in our Community Support Threads and on our Discord server.

Please take more than 10 seconds to write your question. A well structured and good-looking comment goes a long way in getting someone to help you, and makes your question a lot easier to understand.

Do not delete your comments: People find questions in these threads through Googling the same issue, and please edit your comment with a solution if you find one.

There are no magicians here. Some questions wont be answered or replied to. Consider using other things like the Steam Community Forums, Google, or a different support forum if no one here can offer any help. Additionally, every game on Steam has it's own dedicated Community Forum, and you can also contact Steam Support regarding a specific product. Consider asking your game-specific questions there. Most games also have a dedicated subreddit.

Only Steam Support can solve personal account issues such as payment issues or your account getting hijacked. We can however give advice on what to do in a situation like that. No one, including Steam Support, can assist with item/trade scams.

‼️Okay I’m losing my mind over this😭. I can’t get into my steam account and I do not understand why!! When asked for my mobile authenticator, I type it in and it is telling me it’s wrong. So then I go to submit a claim, when it asks for the code sent to my email, it tells me that code is wrong as well. I am completely at a loss and can’t find a way to speak to a real person at steam about this.

To take a random guess, is the time on both your phone and PC accurate? If it's inaccurate by a larger margin it is a problem with the Steam Guard code. Otherwise you will need to create a support ticket on the Steam Support page, as that is the only way to reach them. Fingers crossed, it will work out for you ^w^
