Button to ban all account login functions for 3 mounths
Hi,
For the last 2 months, I got SMS for account credentials change.
That is making me quite nervous (even though I got Steam Guard active), considering I changed no ♥♥♥♥ and used no authorization whatsoever for months.

It would be quite nice for men to disable ALL authorization methods and ALL means to gather account through mobile Steam app.

Say, you are as paranoid as I am on the matter. You go to mobile Steam app, clicking somewhere to find that button and locking down an account.

Then there are scenarios:

A guy will need to authorize due to some real reasons like, he bought a new PC with a new SSD and blah blah blah (he really needs to authorize once per decade).
THEN: he awaits those 3 months, authorizes, and locks down his account.
OR THEN: if he forgot his account ♥♥♥♥ AND/OR lost his phone with Steam Guard and ♥♥♥♥, he awaits 3 months and does things as it's done now.

A guy will NOT need to ever authorize for personal reasons.
THEN: he presses that forsaken button as much as he wants to prolong account lockdown.

Again: if ever he will lose anything in range from password, session, or even phone, he will await 3 months and regain his ♥♥♥♥. Otherwise (if he lost none of that, assuming he does not need to authorize elsewhere), the guy won't be even able to lose his account (as long as he presses daily (or once per 2.9 months) that "Forbid Any Login Methods" button).

P.S.
There is Steam Guard, yes. I still assume the probability of somehow stealing that code. I want to have an extreme measure to let no one even consider getting any access until I am alive.

I'd recommend changing the passwords for both your Steam account and whatever email you have tied to it, immediately, just to be sure.
A little paranoia isn't a bad thing and Valve makes it easy to see if someone might have access to your account. You can check to see what Authorized Devices are logged into your account, and log everyone out if you see something suspicious. Also, make sure you don't have any API keys linked to your account as well. And update your Steam and Email passwords from a clean device.

Would be a nice way for someone to troll an account owner.
M'dude. Scan your PC for malware, change you email and steam passwords and you'll be fine, also stop giving your login data to shady sites.
