ID.Me was very helpful and easy to set up. The video selfie for biometric verification was also easy to upload using the phone.the two factor authentication also came across effectively this ensures that my personal verification details remain safe to be used by government websites such as irs.gov etc

I am a senior. I would give ID.me a rating of minus 25! As an example, which star is 1 -who knows, some manager too stupid to have caught that. Taught programming in my career, too. Whoever designed this site is on drugs. No prompts. NO PHONE TO CALL FOR HELP. The virtual assistant is as worthless as many government employees. Been trying to get into my IRS account for A DAMN MONTH. But you have to go through ID.me. Talk about a goat rope. Pathetic. No help whatsoever. Instructions--non existent. The govt, both IRS and this stupid ID.me site wasted my time. After a month, still have not gotten into my site. Tried calling the IRS. Awful. The damn recording says we have higher call traffic than usual, call back later. Really? Same rediculous recording for past 30 days! No one to get tech help from. Makes me wonder whether there is any human at the IRS an ID.me who has a functioning brain to begin with.
