Setting an account name for Accounts created through STEAM

An EVE Online account that has been created through STEAM does not have an account name or password and therefore can not be logged into outside of STEAM, the Help Center, or easily used as target account for character transfers.

It is however possible to set up an account name and password for all Steam integrated EVE accounts through the Account Management pages.

  • Open the account management page here: EVE ONLINE
  • Click the top right button titled "Log in".
  • If you are automatically logged in, please log out and repeat the last step.
  • When prompted to enter your Login information, click the Green Steam Button.
  • Enter your Steam Login Credentials.
  • Click your name in the top right hand corner, it should be: "STEAM_USER"
  • Click "Account info."
  • Click "Change Password"
  • Enter a new Username and Password that you can associate to the account.
  • Once this is done, please attempt to log back in as this will force the email verification to send.

Once set, it will be possible to log into the account using the new account name and password within the game launcher as well, should a log in through STEAM not be possible for any reason.
