I am not proficient with a computer, but the process to sign up with super easy anybody having to do business with the federal government or any other site that uses ID me I recommend you sign up for you will not have to go through multiple authentications extremely simple
I tried 2 other authenticators and couldn't figure them out. I tried ID.ME and was able to create an account right off. Easy to follow directions and steps and very secure. I'm extremely happy with my choice!
It was a great experience, and it is definitely worth! Also that you should fall all your family, friends!
Needs improvement for accessibility of information
Spell user, friendly not this site to the EDD sucks All it is with two hours of my time we need to make their website a lot more user-friendly. This is absolutely ridiculous. Very frustrated.
Never got the help i wanted.never got help i wanted. Never got help i wanted.
I just need help getting through the process I need to know what further steps is required
System somewhat user friendly, I would've like the option of speaking to a human.
I was surprised at how easy ID worked to verify my identity. It was so easy to use. You never had to wonder what to do next.ID.me should be used everywhere
I always have my card with me I always check and ask if they give me discount for my military service
I'm older and not as quick on computers as I once was, but I understand the need for all the precautions for security, and having drivers license and photo is reassurance that your information is safe. I would still like a paper copy.
Felt very secure on my data accessing ID me. It is not always thought to be safe with web sites-especially information on the web
I signed on found out one of my documents was expired and uploaded it with no problem on the first try. I fully trust ID.me
Had difficulty with the process from start to finish. I design software and use computers all day long. But was presented with badly explained options. Like when it asked me to provide an alternate phone number because the one I had given (a smart cellphone) wouldn't serve. No explanation what that meant. So it asked for another one, and I gave a landline number I've had in my name for 40 years, figuring that would show in the database. Instead they sent a two-part verification text message to it with a URL link to follow. A super-long crypto one. I have limited access to SMS text to my legacy landline server (fortunately) or the whole thing would have been a dead end. But it took two tries to read the URL fast enough, the first time it timed out. I know security is important, but other services I have used for this didn't make it this difficult.
It was my first time doing it with professionals and also I didn't know what to do with it the first time
It was fast and easy to use while trying to access important information
