Hello Robert! We sincerely apologize for the difficulty you have experienced with the identity verification process. Thank you for your 4-star review of ID.me! -ID.me Social Response Team
I was leery when I first heard of ID.me. The thought of providing my personal information to this relatively unknown entity, at that time, was daunting. But after much research and implied approval by credit unions and government agencies, including the military and the IRS, I went for it and very happy I did. Having to verify my identity at one site as a gateway to others has proven to be very beneficial to me. Their guidance when I have questions has also been phenomenal. I am a happy camper!

These security measures are the way of the future and at first, wasn't too thrilled about changing my login process. The ID.me folks were very thorough in verifying my identity and came up with a workaround when my computer camera didn't function. Now I have ID.me for most of my accounts and will probably switch entirely in the near future.
