How many usernames and passwords do you have....and what are they worth ?

About 8 ago i had a steam account never really used it was just there for some disc games that required it i hated it at the time mostly because i did not have broadband.

Well cut to a couple of years ago i got broadband so i thought i would try steam again.Well after so long i had to reset my password but was a email that was compromised so had a new one...to cut to the chase i could not reset my password i had to create a new account.

But it got me thinking though there was only a few games registered to that account but what if i had a lot of games there.

Same with things like Psn or xbox live do much is tied down to you being able to log in. Thankfully you can have back up or secondary emails just in case.  

But my worry is always what would happen if for whatever reasons my accounts got hacked could i access the games i paid for

Also you have things that can be done online taxes/banking/credit cards it just is pretty scary how much reliance we have on being online
