Hey guys! So my bro has an account on steam and he has payday 2. Now, i wanted to try the game so I went on to Settings>Family> and then I selected my bro's account, authorized it. and then selected OK. But still I don't see any games listed as Payday 2 in my library. 

 

The actual problem is, my bro created this account long time ago and now he doesn't remember which email he used, nor the password. So then the family sharing came to my mind. 

 

But still I don't see any of his games :(

 

Any help?

I've used Family sharing - it isn't the greatest. I couldn't play his games, but he could play mine. What a rip off.

 

As for the Login, try emailing steam - do you have any Paypal / creditcard reciepts that could verify the account?

Yo

You(or your bro) will have to log onto the account you want the games from and authorize your account for sharing. Once your bro's account authorizes access to his library, you will be able to access most of his games(depends on his library).

your bro will need to authorize your account while he is logged in that PC.

As a matter of fact, even I had the same problem. I couldn't play his, but he could mine.  

 

As for the login, nope. I don't have as I never used the account. All the stuff (only 5 games were won in a giveaway, including PAYDAY 2 :()

Read my post. I already have 1 pc authorized. You need to authorize your account in his settings. You did it the other way around.

Maybe you can contact steam support for that?
