What happened
A recipient address belongs in the private account setting that needs it, not in a public biography, comment, review, or support screenshot. A trade token is different from a login password, but that distinction is not a reason to publish it unnecessarily. Separate the information required for diagnosing a problem from the account-specific address visible beside the error.
What to check
Save the full link in the intended private profile field. When capturing an error, hide the token and unrelated account details. Keep parameter names visible only if the format is the issue. A public status, timestamp, and error message often describe a failed check without exposing the address. Preserve an unredacted original privately when you need your own record, rather than attaching it automatically to every conversation.
Worked example
For example, you take a screenshot of an unavailable-check message, but the complete input field is also visible. Crop or redact that field before posting. Another user needs to understand which status appeared, not receive your token. If an address was already published, inspect your own Steam trade-link settings and decide whether a replacement is appropriate; then update saved copies deliberately rather than assuming they changed automatically.
Result and next step
The successful result keeps recipient information in its intended setting while public evidence contains only the necessary diagnosis. Sharing a link does not give someone your password, yet it still exposes an account-specific contact route. Review Steam account security guidance and CASECS2 workflow. Manage the link through signed-in profile navigation and discuss verification by result, not by repeatedly copying the complete address into open messages.
