How can I find my steam ID?
Solution 1:
Get your SteamID 64-bit
Method 1
Login to Steam using a web broswer.
Once logged click on your profile and add ?xml=1 to browser url address
http://steamcommunity.com/id/<yourname>/?xml=1
or
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/<yourprofilenumber>/?xml=1 (if you have not set a public username yet)
Method 2
Open this file <Steam Installation Path>\config\loginusers.vdf in notepad.
You'll receive a long XML file but you can look at tag at the beggining. It contains your 64-bit SteamID.
<profile>
<steamID64>7234567890123456</steamID64>
Get your SteamID 32-bit
Using a simple formula you can also build your Steam 32-bit ID similar to STEAM_X:Y:Z (e.g. STEAM_1:0:12345678) starting from Steam 64-bit ID
Z = (SteamID64 - 76561197960265728) / 2
Y = SteamID64 % 2
X = 1 if profile is public / 0 if profile is private
Solution 2:
If you have registered an account with Steam, you have a steam ID. This ID number, however, is not the same as your account name, nor is it any nickname you may choose to set.
The Steam Support site has a pretty thorough step by step instruction.
