Never return Here!
March 19, 2025

Entire system seemed unsafe and unsecure. And then after ALL the steps (which were EXTREMELY numerous!) the entire thing failed! I would NEVER recommend anyone to try to use this as I think it is VERY insecure and subject to hacking by both the government and outside agents. I'm SO SORRY I tried to do this and wish they would wipe ALL my data out of their system including backups and cloud savings.

Excellent experience with ID.me
April 6, 2025

I had an excellent experience setting this up - kudos to fed employees who put this together, and urge the Trump Administration to stop firing federal employees so that other can have a similarly positive experience in the future.

Getting into your account
March 19, 2025

I tried to check my social security account. I have a user name and a password. It wouldn't let me in. I had to wait for a verification code. I had to get another code to reset my password. Once I established a new password. I had to upload my drivers license. Then I had to take a selfie. Once that finished I had to re enter my personal information again.

PRIVACY INTRUSION
March 19, 2025

The entire process to register with ID.me was complicated, convoluted, and required far too much of my time and resources to proceed and complete the process. Furthermore, the requirement to use a service such ID.me, which submits personal and private to governments and agencies, is a violation of government intrusion protections provided by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and data privacy policies and securities are moot and made void when surrendering personal and private information. Until we start speaking out, and not accepting and following government policies and requirements, we will continue to be violated.

You will not be able to get your taxes accepted without the information they hide. It should be extremely easy to find the necessary information. It should not be hidden when it is necessary for functionality. I had to be guided by one of their employees on the phone to be able to find where they hid the ever important pin.

Web Browsers on MacOS
April 6, 2025

Firefox doesn't work for camera interviews i.e., when ID.me agents try to verify you are what you claim you are.
Safari does works.
Id.me should at the very least indicate to users which web browsers work on each and every operating system i.e., Linux, MacOS, Windslow (sic;-)

ID.me offers discount to a wide variety of professionals who provide services to their country and communities. Would highly recommend checking with ID.me before making any decisions about any purchases to see if a discount applies. Very easy to sign up and use! Thank you.
