What is a user id: a detailed explanation in simple words

What is an online user ID?

A user ID is an identifier, unique number, name, or attribute. It can be compared to the passport of any person, which is unique. Each Internet participant also has his own personal identification number by which he is identified.

Using this number, for example, you can quickly find a page on social networks.

On a note! ID is a unique numeric/letter combination that is assigned to each Internet user.

An ID is assigned not only to the computer, but also to social networks, as well as to each publication. This identifier is displayed in a link to a particular group or publication (found in the address bar). The group ID differs from the code in fewer characters, since there are much fewer groups.

Why do you need an id?

Obviously, if you register a large number of users, then you will need to somehow distinguish them.

In some places it is more convenient to use a login for this (which is also essentially an id), and in others a special identifier.

And most often it is used in games, as well as social networks.

This is how the creators control that each user has their own account, and also control and separate one from the other.

It’s much easier for machines to understand numbers, which is why id’s are most often made from numbers.

But when developers expect a large influx of users, they add other notations that add variety. For example, letters.

Imagine that if you replace a number with a letter in one place, the number of unique identifiers increases by 3 times!

Since the id is needed to separate users from each other, it cannot be repeated.

And this is its significant difference from a login.

After all, the latter in some cases may be the same.

Especially if people are distinguished from each other using id.

What is a VKontakte user ID?

Recently, the developers of the social network VKontakte have provided the ability to replace ID symbols at will. Now you can independently choose your code, which should consist of uppercase and lowercase Latin letters.

For example, the nondescript code id611776757 can be replaced with the more interesting VinniPooch.

To find out the user ID on the network from your phone, go to his page and click on the three dots in the upper corner of the screen on the right side and copy the link.

Then we paste this link into a text editor (notepad) and save it.

If the ID is alphabetic, find any photo and do the same. The searched digital code will appear in the text editor after the word photo.

How to create a mailbox?

There are quite a lot of resources on the Internet that, after simple registration, allow you to become the owner of a unique postal address. And this service is provided absolutely free. Popular mail server sites include:

  • Yandex Mail
  • Mail.ru
  • Rambler

And this is only in the vastness of the RuNet. But such global monsters as Google.com and Yahoo.com also offer services for creating a mailbox in Russian. By the way, on my blog there is an interesting and useful article about creating a mailbox on gmail.

Which mail server you choose is up to you individually. You can create accounts in all of them and use each for specific purposes (one for work, the second for family, friends, etc.). And you can only use the one that is most convenient.

Today, mail services allow you to collect mailings from all mailboxes into one (to do this, you just need to slightly adjust the settings).

To create a new mailbox on the mail server, you need to go to the resource of your choice (mail.ru, yandex.ru, google.ru and others) and go through the registration procedure. The mail address will consist of two parts.

The first one will correspond to the name that was specified in the “login” field (it can be fictitious or reflect the real name of the owner).

Note! If the system displays that such a name has already been created, it means that someone has already registered an address with the same name before you, and you will need to come up with something new. It is better if the name is meaningful and not complicated, so that you can easily share it with people and on various sites when registering.

The second part of the address is the name of the mail resource, indicated through the so-called dog (@mail.ru,@yandex.ru). When naming or entering your email somewhere, you must say its full name.

Each mailbox is protected by a password, and it is advisable to come up with a more complex one, because this is the only way to protect the data stored in personal mail. If there is no hope of memory, then it is better to write down the password somewhere, since restoring it, although not difficult, is time-consuming.

The registration form requires filling out personal information such as the owner’s first name, last name and age. Often, in order to be able to restore access to your email account in the future, you need to enter a secret question and answer that is known only to the owner. There’s no need to be too clever; you should come up with a question that you won’t forget the answer to (for example, a nickname at school).

I hope now the word “email” does not cause you any misunderstanding. Register and share information on social media. networks, subscribe to blog updates and become advanced Internet users, see you!

What is the user ID for?

The ID is used when:

  • connecting your computer to the Internet;
  • software activation;
  • ordering goods in online stores;
  • correspondence in instant messengers.

This unique number allows you to identify your computer/laptop when connecting to the Internet; this is the address of its network card. This number can also be used to distinguish one network object from another.

On a note! Unlike an identifier, IP is dynamic: after a reboot, a new code appears. It consists of four combinations of numbers separated by a dot. This code is used to determine the geolocation of a person, in which country and city he is located. It’s very easy to find out: just enter the query “my IP” into the search bar.

Is it possible to find out your ID, and where to do it?

To find out your ID, do the following:

  • click on “Start”;
  • open “Control Panel”;
  • click on the “System” icon;
  • in the field that opens you will find what you are looking for in the “Network address”.

On forums, the postal address is used as an ID. A bank card is also an ID. Phone numbers, email address, full name, date of birth - these are all identifiers, a unique numeric and letter combination.

Why know your ID on social networks:

  • reduces the time it takes to search for people on social networks;
  • helps create a link to a page or community;
  • used to advertise a VKontakte profile or community.

It is better to write down this number in a notepad: it will be useful when the page is hacked.

Email: what is it?

Electronic mail is the full name of the virtual mailbox.

I want to say that using an electronic mailer is an integral part of using the Global Network. Using this type of service, the user has the opportunity to receive and send letters, photographs or other files to anyone anywhere in the world via the Internet.

It is worth noting that it will not be possible to send very large files via email, but several photos or any document is easy; when creating a letter, just use the paperclip icon and upload the necessary files.

To send large files, you must first upload them to cloud storage, and in the letter you simply provide a link to this file in the cloud.

Such storage is provided free of charge by mail, yandex, google, dropbox and others.

When writing a letter, you can correct and format the text, create a signature that will automatically complete each of your letters, and find many more useful options.

A user ID is needed to promote your page on Instagram; this is an individual promotion tool. If you can change your name at any time, then your ID remains the same.

  • post.

To do this, we will use the service at the link - otzberg. Copy the URL of the page and paste it into the window on the service. Then click on “Go!” and we get the result:
