I needed to reset my security settings- and all I had to do was take a selfie. They compared it with my id on file- and that was that. Easy as can be.

Straightforward
January 16, 2026

Pretty straightforward and easy. The wait time was a little tedious but that's not something I realistically hold against them. Overall very user friendly.

I.D.me is priceless!
January 16, 2026

Setting up my ID my account and downloading documentation needed. I was able to get into my Social Security Administración profile within 30 minutes. Set up an appointment for a name change within 15 minutes in the comfort of my own home.

Frustrating Experience
January 16, 2026

Every stage of getting a new PW prompted a reply that the site was closed or some other problem. My second attempts were successful.

Easy to Use ID.me
January 16, 2026

ID.me for IRS.Gov lets you prove who you are online to get government services like the IRS, state unemployment etc., using one login after verifying your identity. It's easy to fill in the form to become eligible and you log on with a password. Go to IRS.Gov to research and/or create your ID.me account.

X getting Social Security information
January 16, 2026

I was trying to login for my Social Security information with my login.com site where I have my VA information. It would not let me do that. I then try the ID me and it did work. It was very frustrating though.

ID me /social security
January 15, 2026

Was very fast! Did not take as long to complete my social security app. I already told my friends to leave the ID me on their computer for future use.

Relief did it!
January 15, 2026

Having the librarian at the community library with her techno device expertise helped me get through the process. EYESITE and device problems complicated the algorhythm seriously.

It's a pain in the neck to have to jump through more bureaucratic hoops to access online government resources but it could be worse.

Es verdad que no soy muy práctica con la tecnología, pero a pesar de eso ID.me me fue bastante fácil porque no es tan complicado como yo esperaba.
Agradezco por que se que mis datos están bien resguardados y seguros, eso es lo más importante.
Gracias ID.me

You go all the way through the process just to have the last step rejected. Uploading a photo has to be professional photographer quality.

I moved and all my documents had my previous address and it would not accept my new address. I am 85 and am in a Retirement Home. It was frustrating until I figured out the problem.

Problems are being resolved
January 15, 2026

My first attempt to get into id.me to SSA hung up my computer due to some bug in the web software that affected all browsers except windows edge. I use linux. Since then, I had reported the issue and now the problem has been resolved. Progress is always a good sign:-). There is still significant delays in responses to some inputs.

Impossible
January 15, 2026

I've had an account for years. It did not acknowledge me. It was impossible to reset my password. I attempted to create a new account for it to say I have an account. It went in circles for 2 hours trying to get it. What a joke.
