Top List

Hi, thanks for the replies. Just to clarify I wasn't making any accusation of the site, merely looking for more information. Or to see if anyone else here used it. One of the things that steam advises customers to do is not accept friend requests from bots, which is one of the main reasons alarm bells started ringing. Then a google search of steamtracks didn't show anything to do with the site, I was hoping to find some feedback. Although there is a band apparently called steam who have many tracks so that clogged up the search results a lot.

@maniac_e: your post was in no way accusing anyone of anything, you asked for honest information and that's always the right way.

it's uninformed answers that are causing a bad reputation. so i hope i could clarify that.
i know i have not done any seo optimization on steamtracks yet to yield better google results as i am hands full with the actual apps for it.
you could also read the tour (https://steamtracks.com/tour) to see how it works. so again, adding a bot is not a problem and steamtracks only acts with the users consent (you have to add the bot from your end).

the dangers of getting your accounts hacked are mostly caused by phishing attacks. bots add random people (or phishers themselves) and link you to a steam-looking site to enter your steam credentials. valve has already taken countermeasures in the form of having only a few friend requests per hour. this counteracts the spam of phishing attempts.

so again, whenever you are prompted for steam credentials, make sure that is the official steam url with valves certificate.

the steam login (openid) is such a great tool for 3rd party developers to spare you the troubles of creating an additional account and remembering another password while providing you with a lot of security as long as you don't fall for the basic tricks.

another way of validating those sites is to login on the steam page yourself (steamcommunity). when you are then brought to the steam site from an external app (login via steam) then your browser should already have your account there (your websession) so you have an additional way of validating that.

i hope i could help you with that. lemme know if you have further questions

It's a legit site. I think the guys from Dotabuff are connected to it in someway.

no, they are not
