How To Fix Steam Error Code E84?
Fix 1: Sync your system clock
During our research, we have come across one Reddit thread where the steam team admitted that there was some bug with the new UI update and it was causing various login errors.
In the same Reddit thread, steam’s team shared that they have fixed the bug which was causing the error, and users should try syncing their device clock to fix the error.
So visit your device data and time settings, and from there sync the clock.
For most people, this fixes the problem.
Fix 2: Launch the parameter to the app properties
If syncing the system clock not helping then try launching the parameter to the app properties.
- Go to Steam.
- Then visit Properties.
- Visit Target.
- Choose Add -login.

Fix 3: Deleting Temporary Files
- Go to your windows search.

Fix 5: Change Your Steam password
For many of the users resetting the Steam password fixes the error.
So change your Steam password and try login in with the new password.
