I opened my Steam account this morning and i found a friend's message sent at 4 AM telling me to go to sleep... which i was doing at that time. It looks like that i was online on Steam even though my computer was off. I didn't get any email regarding a new access, my password is still the same, i still have all my items and there is no suspicious activity on my accounts, both Steam and emails.
My computer should be clean and i never got phishing mails about Steam.
Is there any way to check recent accesses to my account? I can't find anything on Steam and the troubleshooting section isn't helping me.
I can't change my password right now because my authenticator isn't available, as my phone is currently under repairing. I know that they might have opened the Steam app, but i don't think that that guy would be up at that time of the night and besides my phone is locked with a strong password and fingerprint.
Any ideas?

You remain "logged on" for several hours after using the steam app on mobile. So if you've used it to confirm putting something on the market or a trade or whatever right before going to sleep, you remained "online" for at least 2-3 hours afterwards.

You said you left it at the store - to repair i suppose? Are you sure that you logged off steam (both steam app and browser) before handing them your phone?

It was just Gaben reading your messages to see if you're alright because he missed you.

It isn't necessarily a case of someone else using your account, Steam is known to occasionally keep people logged online, playing a game. Happened to me too once or twice, that it somehow didn't quit a game correctly after I stopped playing. It's been a while since the last issue though.

I don't think that's the case because the last time i played something was tuesday.

I'd contact Steam support then. Ask them if your account had been used from a different IP within the given time, you'll know then if you should be concerned.

Edit: Or what Bunulunubu said! ;D

According to that my PC logs in from 76km away and phone 269km away from where I live. So their geolocation might be bit wonky. :)

Looking more at the list I've been traveling from Helsinki to Lapland and back. Shame I was apparently too drunk to notice it but at least I haven't woken up in another country yet. :)

This is weird, according to this I logged in on Jul 16 about 200 kilometres from my city
and on Jun 29 I was logged in from "many" places from a neighbouring county.
or february, from a city I haven't been to for years and ~200km away as well . Interesting :D

Most likely the new chat which has had a bunch of weird bugs / settings.

According to the login history there aren't any logins at that timeframe.
I guess it's an error and i should probably stop worrying. Thanks everyone.

Maybe you used Steam website and it stayed connected.

Bug probably related to the chat updates recently. I could see two friends as online when they were not a day or so ago. Also If you have Steam open on more than one PC it can interfere with the other if you're online status is different on each.

The simplest explanation is that your friend was mistaken.

This has happened to me several times and the reason has always been that I appeared online on mobile.
If that's not possible, maybe it was an open session on your browser? Some kind of cache error that maybe made you appear online after you closed the web page or something like that?
If you're concerned about account hacking, you have an option to close all your sessions somewhere in your account settings, and after doing that you can change your pwd just in case.

I have had this new friends/chat system freeze people's status couple times, so some who were offline for hours still showed as online and stuff.
