Enable Steam Guard, and it will force anyone logging in from an unrecognized device to submit a code they send you via text or email.


From the post:

> It’s not yet clear if Steam Guard offers sufficient protection from the exploit, as there have been some reports from users claiming that their accounts have been compromised even with Steam Guard enabled.

It's always good to have some kind of 2FA active, but it's unclear if it helped in this case.


If you get hacked from a machine your previously authenticated I guess Steam guard will not work.
