Never sent a password reset request, that's why I wanted to contact
Steam and ask them to investigate. Apparently that's a bit too hard for
them.... The funny thing is, everything looks legit. If Steam is doing
this for 'security' reasons, I want to know why they are mucking around
with my account.

Nope. This is the email I received:

Dear didymus7,
We've received a request to update the password associated with your Steam
account.
To complete this process, enter the following confirmation code into the
settings dialog you've left open in Steam: QBRT5
If you did not request this change, don't worry - your account information will
remain unchanged. No further action is required.
Thanks for helping us maintain the security of your account.

Does anybody know what's happening with Steam? About a week ago, I received an
email that said they received a password change request. I assumed, just like
any of us, if I did not response to that email, my password would not be
changed, and tried to contact Steam Support. Steam Support now seems to be
totally severed from Steam with it's own website, username and password. After
registering, I've not gotten two emails from them requesting a lot of
information to verify that I have a legal account. The requests stop just
short of identity theft. Then I received a email with a new password
(completely separate from the idiots I'm trying to deal with) and had to go
through a sequence, on Steam, to install a new password and identity question.
Somebody is really ****ed up over there.
