Unrefined algorithm.
February 27, 2025

This burdensome system doesn't retain login credentials over a span of time, and I've had to go through the time consuming, burdensome reset process three times. It's 2025! Either design the algorithm to work in a streamlined fashion or scrap it!

Will Not Work
February 27, 2025

After weeks of trying to set up ID.Me, I finally was able to set it up to use and have it work. Until the next time I tried to use it! Thanks' to ID.Me, I'm locked out of Medicare! Gave it 1 star because it won't let me give zero stars!

So easy my dad could do it.
February 27, 2025

I was obtaining an API key for USPTO. I was not looking forward to this painful and invasive process from ID.me.

Turns out my dad who's 81 years old could do it. Not that he did it, but it really was that simple. We were headed to dinner to meet up with our friends. I have this giant prostate, That is entirely another story but my point being I had to pee something fierce (Nothing new). I was able to get it done in a few minutes, Relieve myself and catch up with our friends. There was absolutely no issues with ID.me. It went fast enough that a 51-year-old guy with a giant prostate could do it in a few minutes

I would say that is a win

I hope somebody actually reads this
