It’s a good idea, and despite the fact that a huge number of people use this application, there are people who can’t register. The article provides detailed instructions on how to create an account in "Steam".
New Steam User Registration
If a person has not previously been registered in this gaming platform, the question may arise: how to create an account in "Steam"? This is very easy to do. You can first download the program itself, and then register, but you can do the opposite - first register, and then download "Steam". Detailed instructions below.
You need to go to the official website of "Steam", if you have not downloaded the program, and either download the program, or first start registration. How to create an account in "Steam"? Here is the guide:
- On the site or in the program itself, you need to click on the "Register", "Register a new user" or "Do not have a Steam account?" After clicking on one of these phrases, registration of a new user will begin.
- You need to come up with a login (this is not a nickname, and you won’t be able to change it), a good and reliable password, then you need to enter your real email, then - the code from the picture, and continue registration.
- After these simple procedures, you need to go to your mail and click on the link that is in the email you received immediately, or copy the code from the email and paste it into the desired field.
- Next, you need to download the program, if you have not done so already, enter your login / password, click on the "Login" button and wait until the profile is configured.

We’ve figured out how to create an account in Steam, but there are other problems, for example, what to do if you already have an account, but want to create a new one?
Creating a second account on Steam - is it prohibited?
Steam users often create a huge number of accounts, this is directly related to the rating in games. For example, if the calibration in the Dota 2 game is poor, they create a new account in the hope of getting better this time and getting a good rating. In fact, this is not forbidden, however, players will be able to use all the Steam features after purchasing an item whose price is not lower than $ 5, and therefore you will have to spend money again if you decide to abandon your old account. And in order to create a new account in "Steam", you must, again, follow the instructions above. There is nothing complicated there, however, a new user may be asked if there are any other Steam accounts, since the IP is the same. This can be answered simply "no" and that's it. Nothing will happen to your account.
Registration date: how to find out?
Many users do not know how to find out when they created the Steam account, but this is extremely simple. If the account was registered more than a year ago, then you need to go to your profile - there should be a reward, or rather, an icon called "Service of Years". You need to hover over this icon (do not click!), And then you can see the date. And if the user is registered less than a year ago, then the necessary information can be found out already through the SteamRep service. You just need to enter SteamRep into Google and log in through your Steam.
