Account Security / 2 factor Authentication

At the end of the day, they don't have any kind of two factor authentication app.

As I said, if somebody logs into an account from a different IP address, a confirmation code is sent to the email address linked to the account. That is 2-factor authentication.

Like I said, this isn't true and I suspect it is related to using steam as opposed to buying directly.


Verify that or dispute it. Repeating yourself isn't helpful.


Also, support has a whole procedure in place to verify identities when accounts get stolen. They wouldn't bother if it never happens.


Now that I look at it, I can't even log in with an email. I have to log in through steam so it's looking more like the steam account getting hacked was when the account would have been stolen.


Edit: I decided to test your theory and downloaded a free VPN, then changed my IP address multiple times and was able to log in from several different IP addresses with no verification required.
