Life made easy
March 6, 2025

Keeping track of passwords for multiple government sites can be frustrating. There were times I had to procrastinate on important tasks just to recover login credentials. I wish all sites used ID.me—it would make life easy by a bit.

It's legit
March 6, 2025

I was nervous about providing my personal information online, in fear of fraud and or identity theft, the staff/agent put my worries at ease, the invitation for video call was provided before the 2-3 period, the agent was personable while remaining professional and provided reassurance throughout process. The call itself was less than 4 minutes.

Quick and easy I thought it was going to take a long time but it literally only took about 10 minutes and I had already spoke to somebody and showed them my certain requirements and got all the way done with it so I was very pleased because of the quick and easy task at hand

Whew, smooth transaction.
March 6, 2025

While preparing our taxes I realized we were missing a document- a quick search led us to establish an ID.me. Followed the easy steps and within minutes we were securely in and obtained what we needed. Safe process, secure log in, highly recommend everyone set up an ID.me. Truthfully, I was both surprised and impressed!

Computer education
March 6, 2025

It is not ID.me fault that not all individuals on the other end does not know or be properly computer set up for the requested process. Once the computer was set up properly it really was quick and easy.
My suggestion before one gets to ID.Me that you redirected to troubleshooting know how's.and expectations.

Fast & Easy
March 6, 2025

I was extremely happy that signing up for an account with ID. Me was so fast & easy, it actually surprised me. The last time an agency directed me to do that with a different company, it was such a pain in the $#*! that I shut my computer down before I threw it across the room... ID.me is fast, easy, and secure. And once you sign up for an account, you're good to go when signing in with any other company that uses it

There was just a kind of small hiccup with the camera and mic permissions using Edge, but it was possible to switch to the phone, and continue the process.

With Login.gov (as with ID.me) taking still photos of the driver license didn't work. I tried all sorts of stuff, and with both it didn't work.

But with ID.me it was possible to wait a bit of time (it was about 45 minutes for me on a Wednesday night about 10:15 p.m. Eastern to about 11:00 p.m. Eastern), and then the process itself went pretty quickly. Maybe about 3 or 4 minutes perhaps.
