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.
12Previous 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.
4No access to my twenty year old mailadress anymore.. :-(

Go to the profile and look at the url, should be the very end of it.
3Very early profiles don't always have this and only show the long steam ID.
7Damn, that was my only idea. :(

Only the ID is shown.

To add on to this, early steam accounts used your email address as the login name. So definitely try using that.
2If you haven't tried yet: paste your steamid on here https://steamdb.info/calculator/
Maybe it shows your account name.
Edit:
Also: if you by any chance redeemed a game by using a old cdkey and you still have it you could try the account recovering system.
I got my hacked account back this way.
1MVP for reacting on this old thread.
I tried the calculator to no appeal. Sadly, as I've moved eight times (no exaggeration) since I've last used the account, I've thrown out all cds :-(
2Damn, it's going to be tough.
Have you tried https://www.steamidfinder.com/ ? I don't think it would give more information than the calculator, but you can try.
What if you try adding the saving as a new friend? Maybe it will give some more information?
