How do I check the account creation date for a limited steam account?

I have been on steam for a while now (on another account) but this account is limited (and level 0) and therefore does not have a "Years of Service" badge.

So how can I find out when this steam account was created?

Confirmation email would be the easiest way of course.
Also you could check here https://store.steampowered.com/account/licenses/ for your oldest activated game license, in case you bought or started a game on your first Steam day.

Could you please elaborate on what you mean by "Confirmation email"?

Well, when you link your email adress to your account, which you usually do on your first day, you get a mail to verify it. If you still got this one stored, you got the date.

Another thing that came to my mind are external analysis sites like steamdb. Although I am not sure, if they can get the registration date out of a private account.
