I had to return my new PC to Costco because it wouldn't boot up. Unfortunately, I couldn't log in to remove my accounts since I was using a PIN for login. The only accounts tied to that PC were my Google account, Steam, Battle.net, and my Microsoft account. I'm worried about my data still being there. What steps should I take now to make sure I'm protected? Thanks for any advice!

First, head to your Google Account Manager at myaccount.google.com. Under the Security tab, you can find and manage your devices. Make sure to sign out of that PC and set up 2-factor authentication if you haven't done so yet. It really adds an extra layer of security!
Don't forget to log out of your Google account on that device. Changing your password is a must, plus enabling 2FA on your accounts will help. Just make sure that browser isn't still signed in, or else the new user could access your saved passwords.
You should definitely change the passwords for all those accounts right away. For many of them, you can also force a sign-out from all devices. It's a good way to ensure no one can access your accounts from that PC anymore.
