SteamGuard requires an email I no longer have access to [closed] - Free stock photo of 2022, acces, apple

I tried to login online to Steam but it says that I need to go to my email to activate SteamGuard. The problem is that the email it is set to was on an old outlook account on a computer I no longer have. I have no idea how to view the inbox of my old account (what website could i use?) I have not deleted the email account, just simply have no idea how to access it. :(

I quote from the Steam Support page: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=4020-ALZM-5519&l=english#email

Please contact us if you have not received the verification email after 3 hours.

So, the only way you can reclaim your account is to ask them to change the email associated with Steam Guard (in particular, your Steam Account).
You can submit a support ticket here: https://support.steampowered.com/newticket.php?category=273
Just remember to include proof of ownership:

  1. Your past passwords
  2. Your email associated with Steam Guard
  3. Any old Steam Guard codes
  4. Any payment information (just not the full details)

Just a warning: Be prepared to wait around 3-5 days for a reply. Steam support (for some reason) takes a long time to process tickets.
