recover account-name (feddit.de)

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?

This is a good idea. Sadly, I don't have access to the email from twenty years ago, this makes it even harder.

You don't necessarily need access to the mail itself, if you know the password :)

Yes, this I understood. But there was the question from the original commenter @domi@lemmy.secnd.me which I tried to aim the second half at. I'll try to login with old email adresses :-)
