Steam Login Security & Anti-Scam Guide

How Steam login works on SKINSFURY

SKINSFURY uses the official Steam OpenID system for authentication. This means you always log in on Valve’s own website and we only receive a confirmation that your Steam account is valid.

When you click "Sign in with Steam" on SKINSFURY, you are redirected to steamcommunity.com/openid/login. You enter your credentials there, not on our site. Once Steam confirms who you are, it sends us a secure token so we can link your account and show your inventory.

Because of this flow, SKINSFURY never sees your Steam password or Steam Guard codes and we do not store them anywhere.

• Authentication is handled by Valve via steamcommunity.com.
• We receive only your SteamID and basic public profile information.
• We do not request, store or have access to your Steam password.

How to check you are on the real SKINSFURY

Scam websites often copy the design of popular skin platforms and then trick users into entering their Steam credentials. You can easily avoid this by checking a few details before you log in or accept any trade offer.

• Check the domain: make sure you are on https://skinsfury.com in the address bar.
• Look for a secure connection (HTTPS) and a valid certificate in your browser.
• Avoid links sent by strangers on Discord, Steam chat, Telegram or email. Instead, type skinsfury.com yourself or use a bookmark.
• Be careful with domains that look similar but are slightly different (extra letters, wrong spelling, .net / .io instead of .com).

Common Steam / CS2 scams you should avoid

Scammers repeatedly use the same patterns to steal accounts and items. Learning the most common tricks makes it much easier to spot them and stay safe.

SKINSFURY does not cooperate with scammers in any way. If someone uses our name to pressure you into sending items, money or codes, they are lying.

• Fake trading or skin sites that copy the design of real platforms and then ask you to log in with Steam.
• People pretending to be "Steam Admin", "Valve Support" or staff members who ask you to trade items for 'verification' or to avoid a fake ban.
• Offers where a stranger wants to massively overpay for your skins and asks you to go to a specific third-party website.
• Requests to share Steam Guard codes, email verification codes or recovery codes so someone can 'help' you with a trade problem.
• Middleman scams where a random user offers to hold the items in the middle of a big trade between you and someone else.

What SKINSFURY will never do

To make it easier to recognise scams, it helps to know what we simply never do. If you see any of the behaviours below, you can assume that person or website is not connected to SKINSFURY.

• We will never ask for your Steam password, Steam Guard codes, email codes, backup codes or any 2FA codes.
• We will never ask you to trade your items to a private Steam account for 'checking', 'verification' or 'storage'.
• We will never threaten to ban your Steam account, reset your inventory or block your CS2 profile.
• We will never contact you from random personal accounts asking you to move skins or money outside our platform.

How SKINSFURY protects your account and trades

Besides using the official Steam login, we apply several security measures to keep your trades and payouts safer. While no system can be 100% risk free, these steps significantly reduce the chance of abuse.

You still remain in control: you must confirm every trade inside your own Steam account and on your mobile authenticator.

• Secure HTTPS connection on all pages of the site.
• Strict session handling and automatic logout after long periods of inactivity.
• Monitoring for suspicious activity patterns and abuse.
• Clear logs of trades and payouts so you can always review what happened.

Extra tips to stay safe when trading CS2 skins

Good personal security habits are just as important as platform security. Combining both is the best way to protect your inventory in the long run.

• Enable Steam Guard and the Steam Mobile Authenticator on your account.
• Use a strong, unique password for Steam and your email address, and never reuse it on other sites.
• Do not install unknown browser extensions or programs that promise free skins, extra FPS or aim assistance.
• Regularly review active devices and sessions on your Steam and email accounts.
• If something feels off or you are not sure, stop the trade and talk to official support first.

If you think you have been targeted by a scam

If you suspect that your Steam account was compromised or that someone used a fake SKINSFURY link, act quickly. Changing your credentials and revoking access can stop additional damage.

Remember: account recovery and bans are handled by Valve, not by SKINSFURY. We cannot reverse Steam bans or restore items removed directly by Valve.

• Immediately change your Steam password and the password of your email account.
• Revoke access for suspicious devices or browser sessions on Steam and email.
• Check your recent trade history and market activity inside Steam.
• Report the scam attempt and the fake profile or website to Steam Support.
• If the scam involved someone using the SKINSFURY name, please also contact our team so we can investigate.
