How to Find My Facebook ID

Facebook is website created to connect people and allow them to share information, interests, events and photos. There are many features on Facebook that allow for privacy and security. When creating a Facebook account, the system automatically assigns the user an identification number, known as the Facebook ID. In an update done in the spring of 2009, a user's Facebook ID number was replaced with a "vanity" user name of the Facebook member's choice. Finding the former Facebook ID number is still possible.

Instructions

      Move the cursor to the end of the URL, if needed. Some URLs are short enough that the number will be visible immediately. Look for a series of numbers. There may be more than one series of numbers in the URL. Find the set that follows "id=". This is your Facebook ID.
