Counter-Strike 2 Account Security Guide 2026
Enable the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator, then open steampowered.com/dev/apikey and revoke every API key you did not create yourself. A stolen API key lets somebody accept trades on your behalf without your password, and it is the quietest way a CS2 inventory disappears. Fifteen-day trade holds are the backstop.
Steam Guard is Essential
CS2 runs on Steam. Steam Guard protects your valuable skin inventory.
- Enable Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator
- Check your API key at steampowered.com/dev/apikey
- Revoke any API keys you didn't create
- Use 15-day trade holds for extra protection
