As a cybersecurity professional, I'm ultra-cautious about releasing my bits to infinitely fallible systems, especially when requested to put multiple PII keys in one place. However, the ID.me experience provided verification loopbacks at several stages that inspired more incremental confidence than normal. If the back-end processing and compliance works as well as the front-end enrollment process did, this process should do well, and perhaps set a new standard for privacy rigor.

Needs work
November 13, 2022

I was content to wait the 20 minutes for the interview to begin as I watched the time tick down, well mostly down, sometimes it went up but at least I had some notion of when the interview would begin. But when the time was up and I clicked the link to bring up the video screen I waited some 20 minutes with nothing but a repeated recording telling me the interview would begin "shortly." I think maybe the definition of "shortly" must be different at ID.me than the one we find in the dictionary. Further, it seems to me that the purpose of ID.me is to keep every American under 24/7 surveillance.
