I was playing Silksong on my PC from around 9:40 to 12:20, then went to school. When I returned at 19:20, I found that I had been logged out of Steam. This sometimes happens, so I didn't think much of it at first. However, when I tried to log back in, I failed multiple times and decided to reset my password. That's when I noticed that the email linked to my account is completely different—it's a long address that looks like r*************@o******.c**. My dad thinks it might be an outlook email. Also, I got an email notification about a password retrieval attempt made from Armenia, and I live in Brazil. I might not even have a phone number linked to the account. I really need help recovering my account! What should I do?

Definitely reach out to Steam Support. They're your best bet for account recovery since you can provide proof that the account is yours, like payment details. It's good to hear you managed to regain access to your email!
I recommend contacting Steam support right away. Make sure to block any cards you had linked to your account, just in case. They'll likely ask you some verification questions to help you regain access quickly. Just a heads up, if it was a bot that got into your account, you might lose access to your friends list temporarily.
What does 2fa stand for? I’m a bit new to this tech stuff; I just want to get my account back. Any other tips?
Yes, definitely ask at r/steamsupport. They specialize in these issues and can guide you through the recovery process.
