PSA: Changing your Steam Password = 1 week Steam Market+Trading Ban

Closed

Just so everyone knows (as I just found out the hard way) if you decide to update your password on Steam expect a one week ban from the Market.

Since Steam doesn't like to warn you of these things, I figured I'd at least spread the info.

EDIT: Also, can't bring up the trade window either, same reason. Good times.

SteamGaurd needs to have been active on the account for at least 15 days before you can use the market or trade as well. This applies to new users and those who disabled their SteamGaurd for whatever reason.

Wait, is it doing that EACH time you change your password or is that a one-time thing? I'm assuming it's each time if you're unlucky.
