Multi-Factor Authentication is a pain in the butt at best, but ID.me does not have a clue. If you have a new phone number, and you forget your password, you are up the creek. If you want to change your password, they send a "verification" text to the phone number that no longer works. But, if you want to change your phone number, you absolutely must have your password. This company has no business being in business - especially not in a business that is remotely associated with paying taxes. I have to give one star - bummer... they don't deserve it.

Hello William! As we work with identity, multi-factor authentication is used to provide an additional level of security to your ID.me account. If a bad actor was to obtain your ID.me username and password, they would not be able to access your account due to the multi-factor authentication settings. If you require assistance with your ID.me account, please send an email to [email protected]. We are happy to help. -ID.me Social Response Team

This is so reassuring for each step in the vetting process. I may have missed this FYI but the uploading of the ID picture took much longer than anticipated. Anyway thank you for taking all precautionary measures to ensure protection of ID.

The actual process and interview was really easy the hoop jumping for lack of a better term I assume it's because they want it to be a secure as possible it is a little irritating.
