Having email confirmation is basically worthless if your email was compromised. SMS is only slightly better in that they have to hack 2 devices or do a SIM swap scam. If you're not using Steam Guard through the app, you don't have 2FA.

Unfortunately it's necessary when you change phones. You have to turn off Steam Guard, deauthorize your old phone, log in on your new phone, and reactivate Steam Guard.

Though there are people that just leave it off and that's frankly their own damn fault.
