A quick and easy guide to find your Steam account name

This wikiHow teaches you how to find your account name on Steam. Your account name and Steam ID are different from your profile name. Rather than being a name you can customize, your account name is the name you log in with. The Steam ID is a 17-digit number used to identify you across the platform. If you've been asked to provide your Steam ID to link to another app, this wikiHow will help you find it.

Click your profile name in the upper-right corner of the screen. Next, click “Account Details” from the drop down menu. This will open a new window with all your information, and your Steam account name and ID will be listed at the top of the page.

Your Steam ID number will be listed below Custom URL after the text that says "Your profile will be available at:" followed by a URL.
