Changing the email address linked to my Steam account

Changing the email address linked to my Steam account - Electric Towers during Golden Hour

I found myself in kind of a big problem today as I tried logging on Steam on another computer.

The usual verification code popped up -- no problem -- the thing is that I only have access to the email address linked to my steam account from my own PC at home (I am currently using a yahoo mail address and intend to change to a gmail address).

Is there a way to change the email address that my Steam account is linked to?



Best Answer

You can change your contact email address via the steam client. Menubar -> Steam -> Settings -> Change Contact Email Address.

For security reasons you will need to log in to steam and have access to the old email address.
