SteamGuard authorized in China?

Closed

Okay so I got this pop-up when I restarted Steam that said yesterday someone in China with this IP (223.83.85.234) has been authorized SteamGuard access to my account,should I be worried? I just changed my Steam and EMail password,I'm not sure if I should do anything else,I really hope this prick doesn't get access to it,been working real hard on it for the past few years.

If I were you guys,I would make sure nothing like this is happening to you,because I rarely have this pop up.

Step 1: Scan your computer using MalwareBytes
Step 2: Change passwords
Step 3: Enable two-factor authentication for your email
Step 4: Deauthorize all Other computers under your account.
Step 5: Stop installing toolbars/cheats/hacks/trainers...etc.

What is two-factor authentication? I set up my phone number for it,if thats what you mean. Haven't seen anything else like that

This pretty much explains it all.

Basically, it's the same as Steam guard but for your Google account. Instead of getting codes through your email though - you get them from SMS, Google's Smartphone app or simply printed backup codes.
