ID me setup
May 19, 2025

It was a very easy experience setting up ID me. The app easily walked me through the whole process.
I was having a really hard time signing in to my social security account because I had to change my email. I was a victim of fraud where someone took money out of money bank account, so I tried to sign in with my new email. Impossible. Then I tried my old email address, and I still couldn't gain access to my account. I was really frustrated and that thought: what have I got to lose I will try this process, and it surprised me how simple it was.

Totally Bad Application
May 19, 2025

Why do you keep asking the same questions? How many times do I have to repeat myself? It's a very bad application for the feeble mind.

Quick, painless, and complete. This took me about 5 minutes to complete and you want a 100 word review on it. What exactly would that entail? I already had ID and me from last year.

Phone verification seems to fail if you don't have a contract with a service provider or perhaps it's not in your name and this probably happens to a lot of people. Texting a code should be good enough which is done as well. This failure will cause the user to have to video chat with an agent which could and did fail as well and maybe the user doesn't have a web cam. The agent instructed me to use zoom after the browser application failed. That worked, but what if you don't have a web cam? You may be able to use your phone? All of this trouble because of the failed phone verification. The phone verification is a terrible idea and whoever thought of it is an idiot that clearly didn't think of the different circumstances in which the process could go wrong. Also, not everyone has a cell phone. It's the worst idea. A good software engineer would have recognized the problems that users would encounter with this method. The problems translate to lost revenue. You should terminate the individual who developed this process and hire someone who is competent. They probably lied on their resume.You could save money if verification worked properly and not have to hire agents to do the process manually. Another possibility is that you want to cause this trouble to discourage users from completing the process? The verification mechanisms were not carefully planned and thought out.
