How can I find my steam ID?

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

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.
