steam security is more then enough. The only way for anyone to access your account is if you give away all 3 keys to the account. Your login username is only known by YOU. it is not accessible via any steam servers. Your login P/W is only known by You... The steam 2fa security token changes every 30 seconds..

You the user is / are responsible for the security of your steam account. you agreed to this when you agreed to the steam SSA / TOS.

The only way to get your 3 keys to login as you, is to give them away, via fake login / off site non valve websites, or via malware on your pc, or you have been phished.

Steam account security recommendations.
First do the following:
  • Check your account's Authorized Devices. If anything seems odd, use the Remove All Credentials option.
  • Change your Steam account password immediately. (From a known, secure device.)
  • Review the security of your email and other associated associated accounts. Update the passwords if there are any concerns.
  • Scan your system for malware. Check for malicious applications, web extensions, etc.
Your account gets "hacked" by way of the weakest point in the security chain, and that weak point is you. Trust nobody. Don't accept friend requests from randos, and don't trust those you do friend request. All third party trading sites are scams. The only safe place to trade on Steam, is on Steam itself.

Plenty of people have been on Steam for decades without once getting their accounts compromised. Figure out what you keep doing that gets your account hijacked, then don't do that thing anymore.
multiple times means that you are repeatedly doing whatever is causing it

so that is number one

find out where you are making your mistake and stop

most likely trading sites,

but it can be any third party site that wants your steam data

edit:

in case you have yet to do these

to be safe, do not trade

1. Scan for malware

2. Check that the email and phone number on the Steam account are still yours.

3. Deauthorize all other devices

4. Change passwords from a trusted/clean device.

5. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App

6. Revoke the API key https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/dev/apikey

(there should be nothing in the APIKEY)

The two factors are "something you know" and "something you have". What metaphysical concepts are we diving into for third and fourth factor authentication?
