Tried logging into Steam for the first time in years. Couldn’t recover my existing account. Gave up after 5 CAPTCHA attempts and 2 SMS messages and just created a new one.
I’ve also come around to the idea that user names must die. At this point all the decent login names — including my old one — have been taken, and you’re left with one, with numbers or dashes. Ugh! Let’s just settle on email addresses.
