Steam accounts are intended for individual use. While it may be technically possible to share your login details, it violates Steam's Terms of Service and can lead to account suspension or banning. Instead, use Steam Family Library Sharing, which lets you share your game library with up to 5 accounts and on up to 10 devices, while keeping personal settings separate.
