Here's how to Fix Steam won’t let reset password.

i. Here are some common issues that can come up when trying to reset your Steam password and potential solutions:

- Not receiving password reset email - Check spam folder, try again later (server issues), use alternate email if you don't have access to email on account

- Error saying "too many reset attempts" - Wait an hour and try again later to allow the system to reset the number of attempts

- Entering correct info but still won't send reset email - Try resetting on both website and Steam client. One may work when the other doesn't

- Reset email received but link expires too quickly - Try the process again to get a new reset link sent

- Reset link goes to page not found error - Temporary server issue, try again later

- Verification code not being accepted - Make sure you are entering the code exactly as provided, try requesting a new code

- Using backup codes and still not working - Contact Steam Support, backup codes may be corrupted

- Mobile authenticator not allowing reset - Try removing authenticator and re-adding it to account

- Previous password still active after reset - Log out all devices from account and change password again

- Getting locked out after too many resets - Contact Steam Support to remove any temporary cooldowns on reset requests

- Old email address on account inaccessible - Go through Steam's proof of ownership process to recover account access

- Account hacked/compromised - Initiate account recovery process immediately

If issues persist, contacting Steam Support directly for help is recommended. Be sure to give as many details as possible.
