Steam issues today?

Problems logging in were it says pw is wrong, so first port of call is password retrieval/change but even that is failing

Re: Steam issues today?

logged in now, but not sure why if the login was working to a point but looks like PN DNS servers were at fault.  I had to move opendns servers to highest priority to get it to work.

Hi Gus,
Have you got further details on the fault with our DNS?
Steam is a pretty mainstream product and would have expected the error it presents to be applicable to the problem it is facing. i.e password incorrect meaning just that.
However password reset, I can understand may be a little different and will obviously depend on the output.

Re: Steam issues today?

Login was failing with 212.159.6.9 as primary and secondary 208.67.220.220, with the steam client open it was showing as No Connection at the bottom of the window.  I switched the DNS servers about and logged in fine next attempt and no longer had the No connection status.
Before that change I could not login or use the pw changer via the client, as it failed on entering the verification code you are sent by email
