It frustrates me when support sites for online services fail to link to the things they are talking about. Cloudflare's Find zone and account IDs page for example provides a four step process for finding my account ID that starts at the root of their dashboard, including a screenshot of where I should click.
In Cloudflare's case it's harder to link to the correct dashboard page because the URL differs for different users, but that shouldn't be a show-stopper for getting this to work. Set up dash.cloudflare.com/redirects/find-account-id and link to that!
... I just noticed they do have a mechanism like that which they use elsewhere. On the R2 authentication page they link to:
https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/r2/api-tokens
The "find account ID" flow presumably can't do the same thing because there is no single page displaying that information - it's shown in a sidebar on the page for each of your Cloudflare domains.
