How to find your Steam ID
Steam has a rather clever way of dealing with usernames. It lets multiple users have the same username/display name. It does this by having a unique Steam ID for every user, a 17-digit number specific to your account. Here’s how to find your Steam ID.

QUICK ANSWER
To find your Steam ID, enable Display web address bars when available under Interface in Steam Settings. Click your profile to see the Steam ID at the end of the page URL. If you have set a custom URL, clear it by going to your profile -> Edit Profile, and note the Steam ID in the URL right underneath.
How to find your Steam ID
To find your Steam ID, open the Steam app on your PC or Mac. Open Steam Settings by clicking the Steam button on the menu bar at the top, and click Settings.
Click Interface in the left navigation pane. Find the check-box that says Display web address bars when available. Click to enable it. To save the setting, click OK.
Click your username on the upper navigation bar, next to the Community button. You’ll see an address bar under the navigation bar now, showing the URL of the page. The number will be displayed at the end of the URL.
If you have already set a custom URL for your Steam account, you won’t see the Steam ID in the URL above. To find your Steam ID in that case, hover your cursor above the username on the upper navigation bar, next to the Community button, and click Profile in the drop-down menu.
Click the Edit Profile button towards the right.
Select the text in the Custom URL field, and delete it by hitting Backspace or Delete. The text underneath the field will change, showing your Steam ID instead of the custom username in the URL.
