Quick and painless to register to make all transactions more secure. Just needed to take photo of drivers license front and back. Also a selfie was required. App worked flawlessly. No problem. Nice to see the IRS have more safety features and more automation, bringing the tax system into 21st century.

It was easy to do and now I hope no one can scam me!
I couldn't have done this identity checking process on my own. I'm 78 years old. I needed my daughter to help me. It even took her a while and she has a PhD. Can't they make this any simpler?

Very much satisfying to know someone cares enough to help those that's helpful to their communities and servicing the public.
I'm no computer expert by any definition, but the process of submitting pictures of multiple documents, following all the requirements and directions on email, text and "on-line" at the same time, video calling with an impatient representative, and dropped internet connections was enough to give me a headache and took over an hour, and this, just allow me to log into the IRS website. Once logged in, verifying my information, which was already correct, took two minutes. Rather frustrating. I understand that they are just trying to verify identity, but I wonder how many people are able to follow this process. This was more difficult than filling out my taxes.
