Switching back and forth from one screen to another confused me and I sometimes went to the wrong setting.
I had some difficulty because I'm not tech savvy plus not knowing the action requested by some terminology. I had excellent help finishing my partially completed registration with a very pleasant guide but I failed to get her name
After multiple attempts over several days to verify my ID with the Self Verification choice... I was unsuccessful, even after following the prompts closely.
When I was unable to self verify... there was not a straightforward means to link to the ID.me customer service.
One attempt using the Video Verify... was successful... so go to directly to the video.;-)
Procedure is well documented. My only problem was my inexperience using Zoom.
I neglected checking the box authorizing the use of video.

I wanted to access the IRS, I decided to register with ID.me and my expectations of going through a painstaking process were quickly turned around to a intuitive and easy enrollment process.
So someone stole my pin from my mail so I was able to verify my identity easy and fast
Over all my experience was easy! The directions made sense and any mistakes I made were easy to fix. The agent I spoke to was kind and very helpful.
I wasted uncountable hours on hold with Login.gov listening to maddening AI generated music and having an AI woman come on every few minutes telling how important your call is and to wait for an assistant.
After several hours I called ID. Me and found resolve.
I wasn't sure if I could follow alone. I'm definitely not a computer person. The directions are easy to follow and self explanation.
