Gabe is riding to your house in a SWAT van as we speak. Resist, or don't, your death is inevitable either way.

It's a bit more complicated. Besides the Steam credentials, you also need to share your email and its password. You need to provide your mobile phone unlocked or share its password (for SMS and two-factor authentication).

Better setup some dead-man-switch ASAP just in case.
