Phishing ?
The login page does not exist not, so it's kinda hard to tell what happened here.
Just want to remind that all sign-in / login forms have to be in steam domain ( https://steamcommunity.com/openid/login?<params>), and yours most likely was in some random .ml / .xyz domain.

Edit to my post, just found out login page on bottom, clicked it and window opened, then I tried to move out this window to second screen and it was big WTF moment.
SCAM 100%.

That esport4play site was registered today - whois - so yes, it's a scam.
I'm pretty impressed Steam gives that warning.
Edit: Content stolen from epulze.com - unless that site is a scam too. Trust no-one!

ran into this a few months ago, blacklisted the friend i had known and talked with for some time and warned others who we both knew. i thought her account may have been phished.

Gath? He's on my friends list too. Been there for some time. Never tried to send ME any messages like that. Are you sure it's his profile?
Comment has been collapsed.
We'll see. I messaged him with this topic asking if he's ok. No response. I'll see after I get home from work.

I also had Gath on my friendslist after having done a trade with him and went with it to begin with but changed my password after reading about the discussion here.
Blocked and unffriended them after i learned the truth about the site.
My Convo with GaTh

He was quite silent after we traded a year back or so and suddenly started asking me to do it quickly, i can only imagine he lost his mind sacrificing his account for something like this or got hacked.
If he got hacked i do hope he somehow regains his account but the damage this caused will nonetheless stick onto his reputation.

Thank you for the useful links! :)
Sadly, the conversation with the phisher doesn't show up, I suppose it's because they removed me from friend list, but at least I don't see any suspicious conversation of them using my account (which could also be due to the affected people having removed me from friends if it did happen xD)
I found the last link yesterday, had a RU login on the day, I have since updated my pw and refreshed steam API:| momentary carelessness leads to so much trouble T_T

I think you should write a huge bold warning before that spoiler-tagged link you've provided in the post. Someone could lose their account just by signing up there out of curiosity!
And that's obviously phishing, just look at the sign-up page's link. THAT'S A SCAM!

It's clearly a fake login page designed to steal your password, especially obvious if like me you're not using the Chrome browser.
Notice how the fake in-page popup (the inner one with white decoration) is mimicking a chrome tab, which doesn't really look like my Firefox style (the outer one with dark theme).
The important thing here is noting it's not a real tab/window, just a fake form inside the same page...

also from now on I have new steam protocol - no fkn links from sites I dont know
How about a new internet protocol: check the page URL whenever you're entering sensitive data, and reject all popups? This way you can still browse "sites you don't know", which is pretty much what the Internet was about before Big Tech invaded it.

It's pretty common method of scam, just never click on any kind of links people send to you, as simple as that.
Well, maybe some sites can be exception, like Gyazo or Imgur, like if they are world-known

Contact Steam Support and tell them you believe you may have been phished.
Also, update your malware/virus scanner and reboot your machine. You may have a new key-logger installed on your computer.

As a veteran user of our site, it is expected that you are familiar with our past rules about "calling out" other users and try to avoid doing so. As our rules have (somewhat) recently changed, however, let me remind you and everyone else of what to avoid.
First, you should avoid "naming and shaming" specific users within the forum as this could amount to personal attacks and/or hate speech. In almost all instances, it is possible to discuss a matter without resorting to such tactics, and most topics of discussion do not require the names of specific individuals.
Second, our currently Guidelines specifically prohibit the public disclosure of someone else's private and/or identifying information. This includes, but is not limited to, names, addresses, phone numbers, photos, and private messages. The Guidelines also prohibit the posting of unsafe content, such as links to scams and dangerous websites.
In hindsight, your original post, while apparently made with good intentions, could be seen as violating a few of our rules. In the future, please be mindful of how you construct your posts and the manner in which those posts may be interpreted. (Yes, it was entirely possible for your original post to have been written in compliance with our Guidelines.)

I got message from steam support, like this
Thanks for contacting Steam Support.
It looks like your account was compromised. However, you've since updated your password. This should prevent any further unauthorized access to your account.
If you're concerned about security, check out our Security Recommendations article.
That being said, if you have any further questions, please let us know - we will be happy to assist you.
Steam Support
So, I'm free from the hacker?

As long as you have not downloaded any malware to your computer (possibly by clicking on a link), and have cleaned your computer of any virus or malware it may have had, you should be OK. Key-logger programs are often transferred to computers via links or "updates" to legitimate software. Once on your computer, they send your keystrokes back to the hacker, telling him everything you type (including "new" passwords).

Well, after coming home from work, I see that Gath has unfriended me. Oh well, Guess the guy that took control knows we are on to him now.
Edit- Just found his profile and he has this message on it-
Hey I'm sorry if there any trouble I make, Because my account get hacked. But I'm already taking it back. If you already got the phising link and want to talk about it, just add me back so we can solved this problem together.

Useful info and tips
quotes - main highlights from topic
you can check websites here - https://who.is
site was registered today - so yes, it's a scam

The important thing here is noting it's not a real tab/window, just a fake form inside the same page.
For future reference: go directly to steamcommunity.com and login to your account, then go to whatever site you're trying to log into, if the site is still asking for your password you're being phished.
someone from my friendlist told me to do the same thing. i refused. was connected to my steam account already but this site asked me to connect again...
It's pretty common method of scam, just never click on any kind of links people send to you, as simple as that.
remind people to refresh their Steam API keys periodically or after they logged in on a dodgy website
OLD POST
got today message from someone I traded with, asked to vote for his team on site,
after some chat I tried to login on that site and Steam Guard didn't liked it, like some third party from another country was in the middle, dont remember something like that happening before, changed steam pass immediately after I understood thats something is wrong. for now everything is ok with my account, obviously I used not my main account and mail (but I still not ok loosing it)
after I asked of him whats going on (maybe too straightforward), he instead of asking me what happened deleted me from friends which only puts more fuel in fire of suspicions for me
he has 375 friend and tons of positive rep on steam trades, maybe I am overreacting but I decided to report him on steam in case his account was really hijacked and make this warning post
also from now on I have new steam protocol - no fkn links from sites I dont know
thanks forward for everyone with useful comments about situation
