recover account-name
Almost 20 years ago, I've got a steam account already. Somehow, I've lost the account-name, but I still see it in the friend list of my brother.
I'm quite certain to still know the password, but I cannot remember the account-name. Any way of recovering it?

Do you still have access to your email address?
If so, reset your password. They will send you a mail with your username in it.
To add on to this, early steam accounts used your email address as the login name. So definitely try using that.
This is a good idea. Sadly, I don't have access to the email from twenty years ago, this makes it even harder.
You don't necessarily need access to the mail itself, if you know the password :)
Yes, this I understood. But there was the question from the original commenter @[email protected] which I tried to aim the second half at. I'll try to login with old email adresses :-)
Previous nicknames on profile page? Maybe it's something similar. Also, notifications and checks from steam to your email. You can trigger a new one with a cheap gift if you still has access to that address.
No access to my twenty year old mailadress anymore.. :-(
Go to the profile and look at the url, should be the very end of it.
Very early profiles don't always have this and only show the long steam ID.
Damn, that was my only idea. :(
Only the ID is shown.
