[Solved] Odd steam support email

Hey guys, I just got an email from steam support

Dear Steam User,

This does not seem to be a problem... but I didn't do this. Does anyone know why I would have received this email?

[Edit] Solved. Thanks guys. I'm leaving it open in case someone else searches for something along these lines.

If I recall correctly, you receive that sort of email when someone tries to activate a key that has been associated to your account. For example, if a key which you ninjad a while ago has been stumbled upon & attempted to be activated again.

Basically someone used a key that you activated and clicked on "Retrieve account" after Steam saying it's duplicate. Don't worry, nothing will happen and he won't know your account name or anything.

Thank you, I was worried someone was trying to retrieve password information or something along that line.
