How do I find my public key?

Your public key is not your passphrase
Your public key is not your account
In most cases you don't need to worry about your public key at all.

However, for a new account which never made any outgoing transactions you can find the public key when you login using your passphrase (not using your account id)
It will be displayed on the dashboard as a 64 characters long stream of hexadecimal characters.
