Important Note

This message will only display if your email address is already associated with an existing Steam account.

Creating a new Steam account will not allow you to register games which have already been registered.

If you are attempting to access games which you have already registered, please see the Resetting a Lost Password:no topic for instructions to reclaim your prior account.

Common reasons for creating multiple accounts with the same email address:

  • Your prior account was banned by VAC and you wish to play on secure servers.
    Note: If you suspect that hacks or cheats may be installed on your computer, please remove them before creating a new account
  • You wish to create a secondary account for occasional use or to run a Steam Dedicated Server
