Tip: You can share your library with someone by giving them your account sign in information, having them download what they want to play, and then having them turn their device's internet off. This will allow you to continue using your account as normal, and your friend will be able to play the games they downloaded at any time as long as steam is not allowed to connect to the internet. If it is connected, they can play the games as long as you are not playing something on a different device.

*Only share your account info with someone you absolutely trust. It's always a risk to share credentials but use your best judgement.

As someone who is estranged from my blood family, it's interesting to me how this category of people who I would feel comfortable sharing my credentials with maps pretty well onto who I would consider to be my found family
