Did the session id value disappear from the workbench?

Question

I remember that the session information menu option used to display a session id value in the workbench? Is that no longer visible?

I can still get this by executing this line of code in the Apex Execute box.

System.debug(UserInfo.getSessionId());

It appears so... It's not showing for me either under Session Information. Thanks for the UserInfo.getSessionId() solution though. — benedwards44, Jul 19 '16 at 22:30
yep looks like it's gone, but thanks for the apex execute solution :) — MarcusMaximi, Feb 8 '17 at 12:01

After summer'17, it's gone from Debug logs as well. System.debug(UserInfo.getSessionId()) prints SESSION_ID_REMOVED

If you want to get session id, you can try printing this in VF page with {!GETSESSIONID()}, like

<apex:page>
    {!GETSESSIONID()}
</apex:page>

See Session_ID_Remove Issue in API callouts in Salesforce with regards to the Session ID being removed from the debug log and replaced with SESSION_ID_REMOVED – Daniel Ballinger Jun 26 '17 at 20:00

Yeah.. Unfortunately it's gone..

But, thanks for alternative solution.

DeveloperConsole > OpenExecuteAnonymousWindow > [Run below code to retrieve your session ID]

System.debug(UserInfo.getSessionId());

Note: Session is valid for 2 hours.
