Your Zwift user ID is something you need for two important purposes: Logging in to ZwiftGPS and signing up at ZwiftPower.
In this post – the first of a series – I show you how to find it in a secure manner using your log file.
Part two will show you how to find it from my.zwift.com.
Part One: The log file holds the truth…
… or at least it contans your Zwift user ID hidden among the many log lines. This makes it very easy to find your user ID. Here are a couple of way to do it without you having to read through the log file yourself.

Copy this line, press Windows+R, paste the line into the Run dialogue, and press Enter:
cmd /k find /i "player id" %UserProfile%\documents\zwift\logs\log.txt

In a moment your user ID will be shown:
