How to Figure Out My Facebook ID

Find your Facebook ID on the homepage profile picture.

Facebook assigns a unique identification to each user account. Finding your Facebook ID used to be straightforward because the site displayed your account's unique ID in the Web browser's address bar when you logged in to your Facebook home page. Facebook dropped this feature when it changed its page design and layout in 2010, and you will now need to use an alternative method to figure out your Facebook ID.
