    • If you haven't logged into Steam for several weeks, you may be prompted to enter a code that Steam will send to your email address to ensure it's you.

    Try clicking on the profile page itself instead of the link. When I viewed the source of the link (as above) it said there were 0 results. But when I opened the account page and viewed its source, it worked just fine.
