Just curious as I want to replace my original Steam Deck before the OLED releases.

Is a Steam Deck safe to sell after performing a factory reset? As in, will the next owner be able to obtain any passwords to my steam account or any other account/personal details?

Thanks in advance!

    Yeah we can prove proof of purchase and all that, but it will be out of warranty come end of November. So an RMA isn’t such a concern. Since he’s really into the newest Xbox games and Windows, he might just chuck it in the closet anyway, which is fine. But he might take to it, who knows. It’s still hands down the best handheld games machine and handheld computer out there.

    I have a 512 from that last sale and will eventually get on the queue for an OLED, so there will be three units tied to my account. (I’ll never part with the LCD 512, it’s set up with ~150 itch games for which I scraped the artworks individually, no way am I doing that again).) It’s just unclear to me what, in practical terms, three units on one account means. On the other hand, probably 90% of resales are just factory resets, so at the end of the day, I guess it shouldn’t matter.
