Wait, why do we need special requests for Steam account removal? I would login and delete my account (and as a result immediately logged out I suppose). Steam uses two factor authentication for login and unless someone has got hold of your Steam password and email password, you should be safe.



And what happens when you want to undelete your account, because it was deleted by someone else who had access to your computer? (This will happen)

Would deleting an account enable the associated Steam keys (physical or electronic) to be reused? Or is deleting an account equivalent to putting all your games in a pile and burning them?


Two-factor authentication with email doesn't actually help to average user at all. When Steam account password is stolen then email password is likely too.
