Almost 20 years ago, I’ve got a steam account already. Somehow, I’ve lost the account-name, but I still see it in the friend list of my brother.

I’m quite certain to still know the password, but I cannot remember the account-name. Any way of recovering it?

    Do you still have access to your email address?

    If so, reset your password. They will send you a mail with your username in it.

      To add on to this, early steam accounts used your email address as the login name. So definitely try using that.

        This is a good idea. Sadly, I don’t have access to the email from twenty years ago, this makes it even harder.

          You don’t necessarily need access to the mail itself, if you know the password :)
