Gabe Newell Reveals His Steam Password, Dares You To Steal His Account

by Phil Kollar on Mar 04, 2011 at 01:50 PM

Earlier this week, Valve announced Steam Guard, a new initiative to protect your Steam account from phishing and hacking via use of Intel's Identity Protection Technology (IPT). How much does Valve founder Gabe Newell trust this new tecnology? Enough to publicly release his Steam password, apparently...

In the video below, Newell nonchalantly gives out his Steam login name and password, declaring, "You can try to log in and steal my account if you can, but you can't." Sounds like a challenge! Let the countdown to a story about someone successfully stealing Newell's Steam identity begin.
