My Social Security account was set up years ago to my personal email as user name. It appears email user names are no longer allowed to access accounts, so I used ID.me to get where I needed to be.
The representative that helped me was so kind & displayed a positive attitude! Very helpful.

I used these services to access historical tax information through irs.gov. I was dreading using a third-party for self-identification but it was so easy to use. The technology is wild. They take a picture of your face to verify your identity along with a couple other things.
