What is Steam Login and where can you find it?

What Steam Login is and how it differs from a Steam ID and profile name. A detailed guide: where to find the login, when it's needed and safety rules.

Short answer

Steam Login is the sign‑in name you chose when creating your account. It differs from your profile name (which you can change any time) and from your Steam ID (a unique numeric identifier). If a service asks for «Login», enter that sign‑in name, not the profile name. The login isn't a secret password, but never share your password.
