How to find your SteamID64
Where Steam shows the 17-digit account ID, how it differs from a custom profile name, and when a tool needs it.
STEP 01
What a SteamID64 is
Steam Support describes the SteamID as the unique identifier of a Steam account. Its most common form is the 64-bit ID, a 17-digit number; for individual accounts it looks like 76561198 followed by nine more digits.
STEP 02
Find it on your profile
Open your Steam Community profile and click Edit Profile. If you have never set a custom URL, the profile link shown under the Custom URL box already contains the 17-digit ID. If you have set one, delete the text in the Custom URL box and the link below it shows the ID; you do not need to save the change.
STEP 03
ID, custom URL and player name are different things
A profile link can be steamcommunity.com/profiles/ followed by the ID, or steamcommunity.com/id/ followed by a custom name the owner chose. The player name shown in games is a third thing and can be changed at any time. Steam Support says the SteamID itself cannot be changed, which is why tools prefer it.
STEP 04
Use it in lookup tools
The NEXFRAG FACEIT checker, Steam tracker and inventory tool accept a SteamID64 or a full profile link, and convert a custom profile name to the ID for you. A SteamID64 is public information that anyone can read from a profile link; it is not a password and gives no access to an account.
Quick checklist
- Open your Steam profile and click Edit Profile.
- Read the 17-digit number in the link under the Custom URL box.
- If a custom name is set, clear the box to reveal the ID without saving.
- Paste the ID or the full profile link into the tool you want to use.
