How do I obtain a link to a Bluesky user's profile by ID (DID) instead of the handle?

As handles may be changed, I'm interested in a permanent link to the account ID. Any easy way to obtain it from the web UI?

I like this tool https://pdsls.dev by @juli.ee

I don't think the client apps or web ui give you an easy way to do that. Looks like you have to resolve the handle to a DID with the com.atproto.identity.resolveHandle API.

Like this: https://docs.bsky.app/docs/api/com-atproto-identity-resolve-handle
or if you really want to dive into the implementation: https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/tree/main/packages/internal/handle-resolver

Wherever you can pass a handle you can almost always pass a DID. Your profile link: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:yponupcdcg6q4l7dlwr6wkzm

Yes, I know. Now my question is: how do I get that DID from a profile easily in Bluesky clients like Android app and web UI?

You can't easily, unfortunately. Given a handle you can paste it into something like https://atproto-browser.vercel.app that will resolve the handle to a DID for you

Side note about atproto-browser specifically: assuming the user has a public profile, you can paste their bsky profile URL in there also
