Another Question about Linking my POE account with Steam

Log out of the account you're on now, go to https://www.pathofexile.com/login and choose "Sign in through STEAM" on the right-hand side.

This will log you in on the website with your Steam account.

Then go to https://www.pathofexile.com/my-account/change-email and add any unused email you want to your account. You'll then be able to sign in using both methods.

If you want to use the email of the account you're currently posting from you'll need to change it first to something else (same url: https://www.pathofexile.com/my-account/change-email) then proceed with the steps above.

The wrong way to do it is to start with your empty account and to link it to your Steam. This will attach your Steam login to the empty account which appears to "delete" all your characters, purchases, etc. Support can undo this if you do it by accident.
