I logged into steam this evening, only to be presented with the password prompt. Usually, it is set to auto-login, so I havent entered the password in months.

After a couple of failed attempts at it, I decided to fire up the password retrieval function on the login prompt. What a joke. After entering my username, it sends an email to you containing a verification code, and a secret question, which you are expected to answer. Below is the email almost exactly as I got it (minus real codes, etc):

Given that if my passphrase was ever reset, it would have been well over a year ago, how the hell am I supposed to remember what they last reset my phrase to? Not even counting the fact it was so long ago, the first thing I would have done would have been to change it.

Luckily, I struck gold and remembered my password, so I'm in now, but that email really is annoyingly stupid
