What is the difference between 15 and 18 Digit ID ?..

Answer / Manoj Kumar Maurya

The main difference between a 15-digit ID and an 18-digit ID in Salesforce is that 15-digit IDs are generated automatically by the system, while 18-digit IDs can be customized. 15-digit IDs are used for standard objects like Account, Contact, Opportunity, etc., whereas 18-digit IDs can be useful when you want to create a unique identifier that conforms to an external system's requirements.
