Thanks for the help guyz

I just got a email from steam support with this message:

Dear Steam User,

This is an automated message generated by Steam account administration. It is being sent in response to a query made by a Steam user to discover all account names associated with this email address.

Steam account name: [my username was here]

Any idea on what this means? Should i change my password?

This happened to me a while ago...it's "simply" someone who tried to recover your profile. When you try to redeem a cd key on steam that has already redeemed you have the option to "see" where you redeemed it. If you used a key taken from reddit, for example, it's common that someone just try to push the button of "retrieve account" just for fun. Yes, change your password, just to be sure, but don't worry.

It means someone tried to use a steam key that you already used.
And pressed a button to send a email.

When someone tries activating a steam key that's already been activated they get a 'help retrieving your steam acc' button that apparently sends you that email.

aka. you've activated a lucid key from reddit and someone else tried activating the same key and clicked that button. nothing to be worried about

edit: got ninja'd twice :<

Fortunately, I didnt get this email. On the other hand, is it possible to create more than one steam account with the same email address?
EDIT: Now I know why I didnt get it, I just didnt redeem any LUCID key.
