I was having trouble signing into a site I hadn't visited in a couple of years. I was just about to give up when I saw the ID.me badge and clicked it. I didn't expect much as I also hadn't used this service recently either. I started the process and tried the 'face scan' option while thinking 'yeah, right' to myself. The softwear went off to match my mug with my ID. To my utter amazement, it worked! Very pleased! I will be using this method from now on.
