If you have registered, you can go to the authorization page, enter your personal data and then get into your personal account. To make payments within the service, you need to create wallets, one for each currency. There are no difficulties here. And it is also desirable to add a mobile phone number to your account, this is very useful for protecting money. To do this, go to the "Menu" tab. After adding a phone number, disable the ability to access by password and login, and instead enable access by SMS password.
As you already understood about WMID, it is an identification code that is assigned after registration on WebMoney. It is represented by a sequence of 12 digits. Each user of the system has its own unique WMID. The wallet you create in the system will be linked to this ID.
This identifier is not classified information. So you can communicate it to your partners and clients without fear. And since all of your wallets are tied to a WMID, every time you give out your wallet number, you also make your identification code public.
How to find out WMID?
What is it you already know. Now there is one more question to ask. Often users lose their ID, forget it, etc. How can I find out this code again? There are some ways to do this.
WMID can be found using the key file, if you use it during authorization. The file contains the WMID in the name and has the permission kwm. For example, 758495396841..kwm.
WMID can also be obtained from people to whom you have communicated it to establish contacts through the system. Your data is saved on the "Correspondents" tab or in the payment history.
The identifier is easy to learn from the client program. It is displayed at the bottom and top of the program. Also in Webmoney Keeper, the identification code can be found from the menu program.
In addition, you can find out the WMID by the number of the wallet to which it is linked.

Quite often, users encounter a problem when their WMID is blocked by the system. What is the reason? Firstly, the reason may be hidden in a violation of the agreement, which is confirmed during registration. Secondly, users often report fictitious data, as a result of which, over time, if inconsistencies are found, the WMID is blocked. Well, the third reason is that the strict rules of the service categorically prohibittransfer WMID to third parties.
In addition, each WMID can accumulate a lot of feedback that comes from users. If there are a lot of negative reviews, you may be blocked. In any case, you will have to apply to the system arbitration to restore the identifier.
As you can see, the identification code is a very useful thing when making transactions in the WebMoney system. WMID is often said to be a vulnerability, but still it is actively used, and there are methods to ensure the security of electronic money.
