Can I be using Steam while someone else is redeeming a Steam giftcard on my account?
What if someone's playing a game on Steam and another person is on the same account redeeming a gift card at the same time?
Best Answer
As long as you're not trying to play two games at once, you can log into the same account from multiple locations. You (or your friend) can redeem the giftcard on one device while you play on the other.
However, there is no reason to do this. Your friend can just as easily give you the gift card or its code. They can also purchase games for you as gifts. Neither of these would require your friend accessing your Steam account, which is a massive security risk.
