Steam Guard is an element of protection built into Steam for more user security, his personal data and things. If the service is enabled and you confirmed your email, with each attempt to use your username \\ password from a new computer, the corresponding alert will come to the current email address. It will contain code that will be needed to enter to end the input procedure (if you started from an unknown PC). Without a secret sequence, an attacker will not be able to access the account.

Additional Security with Steam Guard
Remember, even the included option is unable to protect you from all problems. Create reliable passwords for your e-mailbox, use the proven antivirus and protect your account to your account. Steam employees are never asked to send them any program files, especially with SSFN resolution. Also try not to go to the service with an unreliable PC, placed in a public place and not to transmit your smartphone with a steam application in the hands of others. How to understand that Steam Guard is included? Check it out through the "Account", subsection "Security Status". Please note that after switching on the protective option, you can only make purchases after 15 days. If you do not see the "Enable S.G." button, simply exit the program and go to it again.
Official service mailboxes are only support@steampowered.com and noreply@steampowered.com. Do not use the same passwords to protect different services, programs or accounts.
