When I set up my account, everything went flawless. But every time after that, I was unable to login, because the verification code they were supposed to send in a text never arrived. Even after several attempts to have it resent, it never came through.

Thoughtful and Sincere
March 25, 2023

I was taken to the sites, in a matter of seconds. Once at the various sites, everything was so clear in helping me complete and get the Successful finish message and know that my wait was over.
I.D.me made sure it was I, they were helping
And not just another someone, that signed in for their information.

It was easy to maneuver through, but open a browser on your phone and a different electronic device makes it easier if you're not computer savvy.
