Someone sends you a link to something, you're trying to check out a new service or use a cool feature. Whatever the backstory, you're greeted with a page that asks you to to login to with your steam account and redirects you to a Steam login page. It looks legit, you think it should be legit, but this is how you turn that 99.9% certainty into 100%.
You're greeted by a page asking you to log into your Steam
- STOP
- Open a new tab in your browser
- In the new tab, type in www.steamcommunity.com
- At said page, login to your Steam account. If already logged in, no action is required.
- Go back to the page that asked you to login to Steam and refresh and/or redo the steps that got you to the login page
- If you can login with a press of a button, the login site is legit. If it still asks you to type in your password, the site is a scam to steal your account
In short, NEVER type in your Steam logins to any site EXCEPT www.steamcommunity.com and only after you typed it into your address bar YOURSELF. Steamcommunity.com will remember your login and you can sign to all other sites that require your Steam with the click of a button, IF they're legit.
Hope this helps someone. While you're at it, always ignore weird friend requests and don't click links someone sends you out of the blue. Also, if you clicked any of the links in this post and logged in, you already sort of fucked up.
