Don't waste your time. Puts you in a continuous loop. Never goes to destination. After you are logged in to your account and tdry to access SSA, for instance, it takes you to a registration page with no exits

Avoid at all costs

Just a commercial vendor. Your data will not be safe as profit, not commitment and accountability to the end user, is their #1 priority.

If it hadn't been for id.me I could of still been waiting on my tax refund. It was a little over 3 weeks and where's my refund website would say your taxes are being processed. I tried and used id.me because of the changes the irs was going through than from like it was in the past. And the next day on the where's my refund website I had a date for when my taxes will be in my account. It was a reliever. I even was able to see any questions I needed answered right there on id.me website.

ID mismatch
May 22, 2025

There seems to be a mismatch with my identity. I checked on my SS retirement application a week ago and I login with no problem. This time it could not ID.me. My legal name is Michael Kent Brooks, but for some reason my SS card number shows a name "Mike Kent Brooks" All of my ID: Driver license, Military ID, Passport and Birth Certificate use "Michael" as my first name. Can you help me fix this issue? Please help me rectify this login issue. *******847
