• Locked myself out of the steam store with wrong year of birth. Need help
    11 replies, posted
Is there any way I can clear the history or cache for the steam store? I was browsing games when I clicked 14 Nov 2010 instead of 1990 and fucked myself over. Now all it says is "sorry, you can not view these materials at this time" And since I know it'll be said, yes I'm of age. I'm 20 in the USAF as a maintainer. Profile and many past posts will agree with it. I don't even understand the reasoning behind entering a DOB for everything.. your account has it in the first place. Entering it for almost every game is ridiculous.
You mean it was a game asking for age verification? I think after a bit it resets and you can put in different data.
Yeah it was just Alpha Protocol. I wanted to see what it's about and I'm just tired and lazily browsing games.. and basically went "Yeah it's 2010 still derp" and then realized I screwed up.
Whenever that happened to me I just waited it out, not sure if you can clear cookies to solve that, never tried.
Restart Steam.
If it was in browser, then go into Steam and do it and vice versa.
Emptied temp folder + restart steam and logging in with a different account fixed it. Thanks everyone.
glad I could help

The asking for you DOB annoys the shit out of me. Can't it just save your DOB so you don't have to bother with it again...

I mean, you've already registered with Steam, you would think by now that it would know your DOB and wouldn't pointlessly ask you for it every time you want to view a rated M game.
I don't even bother putting in any numbers other than the year. I click the year box and throw my scroll wheel down/up and pick like 1900. But deleting clientregistry.blob might work if the other suggestions didn't work
