作为一名游戏玩家，无论是有抱负、专业人士还是爱好者，您都必须在Steam上注册，这个非常流行的购买游戏的云平台。然而，您的Steam帐户不仅仅是让您访问您购买的所有游戏。此个人资料成为您玩的所有游戏的身份，允许您创建所有成就的存储库并建立一个游戏玩家社区。
该平台早在 2003 年就推出了，多年来获得了惊人的人气。如今，它已转变为全球游戏玩家的主要枢纽，每天吸引数百名用户。鉴于自成立之初就广受欢迎，该平台拥有大量忠实用户。如果您是很久以前就在门户上操作的忠实Steam用户之一，那么您很可能从过去的自己那里得到了一个令人尴尬的名字。那么，你并不孤单。许多用户质疑他们对用户名的选择，并最终寻找更改Steam帐户名称的方法。因此，如果您是其中之一，那么您来对地方了。在本文中，我们将引导您了解更改Steam帐户名称的所有可能方式。
如何更改Steam 帐户名称(Steam Account Name)(2021)
帐户名称与个人资料名称(Account Name vs. Profile Name)
现在，在我们深入探讨您可以在Steam上更改姓名的所有方法之前，您必须了解一个重要细节。您在Steam(Steam)上的帐户名称是数字识别码，不能更改。但是，您可以更改的是您的 Steam 个人资料名称。(However, what you can change is your Steam profile name.)
要了解两者之间的区别，您只需要记住帐户名称是为了在平台上进行一般识别。相反，配置文件名称是您被其他用户识别的名称。但是，由于与术语帐户名称相关的俗语，术语配置文件名称通常可以互换使用。
如何更改 Steam 配置文件名称(How to Change Steam Profile Name)
现在您已经了解了区别，让我们来看看您可以遵循的步骤来更改您在Steam上的个人资料名称。
1. 对于初学者，您需要登录您的 Steam 帐户(log into your Steam account)。
2. 在右上角，单击您的用户(Username)名。然后从出现的下拉菜单中，单击查看我的个人资料(View my Profile)按钮。
3. 在此处选择编辑配置文件(Edit Profile)选项。
4. 现在，只需通过删除现有名称来输入您的新名称。(type your new name)
5. 向下滚动并单击保存(Save)以保存这些更改，以便在您的 Steam 个人资料上看到一个全新的帐户名称( save these changes to see a brand new account name on your Steam profile)。

是否可以将游戏从一个帐户转移到另一个帐户？(Is it possible to transfer games from one account to another?)
当对个人资料名称有疑问时，一些用户会尝试创建一个新的Steam帐户，并尝试将他们的游戏从旧帐户转移到新帐户。然而，这并不是一个真正的可能性。(That, however, is not a real possibility.) 您不能将游戏从一个 Steam 帐户转移到另一个帐户，因为所有游戏都带有单用户许可证(You cannot transfer games from one Steam account to another since all games come with single-user licenses)。通过设置一个新帐户并将游戏发送到那里，您实际上会尝试将旧帐户与新帐户合并。但是，Steam 的许可政策不允许这种安排。
删除 Steam 帐户(Deleting a Steam Account)
删除Steam帐户与卸载(Steam)Steam几乎相似，但又不尽相同。这两个过程的共同点是您最终将释放大约 1 TB 的空间。但是，删除 Steam 帐户意味着您完全放弃了所有游戏许可证、CD 密钥以及您在平台上拥有的所有东西。(deleting a Steam account means you are outrightly giving up all your game licenses, CD keys, and all that you own on the platform.)
虽然删除帐户将使您有机会使用新帐户名称从头开始设置新的个人资料，但您不会在这里拥有任何东西。因此，您将无法访问您通过 Steam 购买的所有游戏。(You will consequently lose access to all the games you bought over Steam.)但是，您仍然可以访问和玩在Steam之外购买的游戏。但除了一系列游戏之外，您将失去通过该帐户为社区所做的帖子、模组、讨论和贡献。
由于删除 Steam 帐户所涉及的所有巨大损失，没有自动的方法可以做到这一点。您需要提出删除帐户的票并完成一些验证过程。只有这样，您才能删除该帐户。
创建 Steam 帐户(Creating a Steam Account)
在Steam(Steam)上创建一个新帐户简直是小菜一碟。就像大多数其他需要您的电子邮件和帐户名的注册过程一样。从一开始就明智地选择名称，这样您以后就不需要更改Steam帐户名称。验证您注册时使用的电子邮件后，一切顺利。
如何查看存储在 Steam 上的数据(How to view data stored on Steam)
在Steam(Steam)上查看您的记录很容易。您只需打开此链接(this link)即可查看平台上存储的所有数据。这些数据主要影响您在Steam上的体验，因此具有重要意义。虽然不可能更改您的帐户名称，但您仍然可以选择修改一些详细信息。这些详细信息可以是您的个人资料名称、双重身份验证的代码等。

保护您的 Steam 帐户(Securing your Steam account)
当您在线存储了如此多的游戏和个人数据时，采取所有必要措施来保护您的存在至关重要。在Steam(Steam)上执行此操作涉及本节中讨论的一些细节。为您的Steam(Steam)帐户添加额外的保护层并使其免受任何威胁和数据丢失始终是一个很好且实用的决定。
以下是您在保护您的 Steam 帐户方面可以采取的一些最关键的步骤。
1. Steam Guard 双重身份验证(1. Steam Guard Two-Factor Authentication)
保护您的 Steam 帐户的第一步也是最重要的一步是双重身份验证设置。通过激活此功能，您可以确保在有人试图从未经授权的系统登录您的帐户时收到邮件和短信通知。(SMS)如果有人试图更改您帐户上的个人设置，您也会收到这些提示。
2. 强密码的密码(2. Passphrase for a Strong Password)
所有重要帐户都必须使用强密码。但是，为了您的Steam帐户的价值，您必须选择一个非常强大的密码。确保您的密码足够强大而不会被破解的一个好技巧是使用密码。最好使用密码短语并只允许Steam(Steam)在您的系统上记住它，而不是继续使用一个单词。
3.忽略要求信用的电子邮件(3. Ignore Emails Asking for Credit)
Steam不会在其平台之外询问货币细节，这是理所当然的。但是，许多通知也会发送到您的电子邮件中，使您容易受到网络钓鱼攻击(phishing attack)。因此，请始终牢记，任何信用交易都只能在Steam官方平台上进行，您不需要任何电子邮件。
4. 更改隐私设置(4. Changing Privacy Settings)
最后，在 Steam 上保护自己的最佳方式是调整隐私设置。对于那些希望享受仅限于一些有选择的朋友的游戏体验的人来说，这是一个选择。您可以在我的隐私设置(My Privacy Settings)页面上将隐私设置从仅限朋友更改为私人。(Friends)

Is it possible to transfer games from one account to another?
When in doubt regarding the profile name, some users try to create a new Steam account and attempt the possibility of transferring their games from the old to the new account. That, however, is not a real possibility. You cannot transfer games from one Steam account to another since all games come with single-user licenses. By setting up a new account and sending the games there, you would essentially try to merge the old account with a new one. But, Steam’s license policy does not allow this arrangement.
Deleting a Steam Account
Deleting a Steam account is almost similar to uninstalling Steam, but not quite the same. What’s common in both procedures is that you will end up freeing around one terabyte of space. However, deleting a Steam account means you are outrightly giving up all your game licenses, CD keys, and all that you own on the platform.
While deleting the account will give you the chance to set up a new profile from scratch with a new account name, you will not own anything here. You will consequently lose access to all the games you bought over Steam. However, you can still access and play games bought outside of Steam. But beyond the array of games, you will be losing out on the posts, mods, discussions, contributions you made to the community through that account.
Due to all the massive losses involved in deleting a Steam account, there is no automatic way to do it. You need to raise a ticket for account deletion and complete a few verification processes. Only then will you be able to delete the account.
Creating a Steam Account
Creating a new account on Steam is simply a cakewalk. It is like most other sign-up processes requiring your email and account name. Choose the name wisely from the starting itself so that you do not need to change the Steam account name later. Once you verify the email you signed up with, you would be all good to go.
How to view data stored on Steam
Viewing your records on Steam is easy. You can simply open this link to view all the data stored on the platform. This data primarily shapes your experience on Steam and hence, holds substantial significance. While changing your account name is not a possibility, you still have the option to modify several details. These details can be your profile name, the code for two-factor authentication, and similar.

Securing your Steam account
When you have so many games and personal data stored online, it is crucial to take all necessary steps to safeguard your presence. Doing this on Steam involves a few details discussed in this section. It is always a good and practical decision to add an extra layer of protection to your Steam account and foolproof it against any threat and data loss.
Here are some of the most crucial steps you can take in the direction of safeguarding your Steam account.
1. Steam Guard Two-Factor Authentication
The first and most important step in the process of protecting your Steam account is the two-factor authentication setting. By activating this feature, you ensure that you will be notified via mail as well as SMS text in case someone tries to log into your account from an unauthorized system. You will also receive these prompts if and when someone tries to change the personal settings on your account.
2. Passphrase for a Strong Password
A strong password is a must for all important accounts. However, for the worth of your Steam account, it is essential that you choose a very strong password. A good trick to ensure your password is strong enough to not crack is to use a passphrase. Instead of going ahead with a single word, it’s good to use a passphrase and allow only Steam to remember it on your system.
3. Ignore Emails Asking for Credit
It’s a given that Steam would not ask for monetary details outside of its platform. However, many notifications also arrive on your email, making you susceptible to falling to a phishing attack. Therefore, always keep in mind that any credit transactions will be done only on the official Steam platform, and you do not require any email for the same.
4. Changing Privacy Settings
Lastly, the best way to keep yourself protected on Steam is by tweaking the privacy setting. This is an option for those looking to enjoy their gaming experience limited to some selective friends. You can change the privacy setting from Friends Only to Private on the My Privacy Settings page.
