I had to change passwords even though I had written down the first one. I finally got an email that I was successful but could not figure out how to use it for the purpose I had intended. A lot of screaming and desk-pounding was involved. I can't imagine I will log in again.

Trusting
November 27, 2024

I was able to achieve what I sought out to do in a timely manner and the site walked me through each step and made it quite easy. All i needed to do was upload my required certified documents to accomplish my task all while using the online ID.me verification process. Im confident that my personal information is secure and feel that they take great care in keeping it secure. Thank you ID.me!

The problem with i.d. me is the response time when you encounter a problem. It takes longer than a week. I tried to change password and reached out to the support with no success in completion of logging into government site because of duplicate account. I couldn't recall nor get into original email. Hence, I created a id.me and experienced the duplicate account

Trustworthy/ convenient
November 27, 2024

I know a lot of us lose our passwords these days it can be easy to do, but we are also worried about our identity, I do trust this site and it was a very easy process to get in to the Federal website, which is very important to a lot of us so to have a company that we can trust on if we lose our passwords is very convenient.

Frustrating experience
November 27, 2024

It was a major pain-in-the-neck to have to jump through all the hoops required. My several attempt to verify my identify with the automated video system using my cell phone's camera failed even after carefully following the guidelines provided. Same results occurred when using my desktop computer and a web cam. I'm a tech savvy person with a lot of patience, so I can't imagine how others suffered through the process.

Fairly seamless and efficient process
November 27, 2024

I was nervous as applying from abroad but the whole experience was pretty straightforward and worked well. I had to have a video call as the final step of verification and Michael made me feel at ease and the whole thing was easy peasy- on a Saturday no less!
A lovely final touch to have a real person. It was pretty seamless switching between phone and iPad

ID.Me = SECURE

I have reason to access the VA.GOV site often. The one login verifier saves time and frustration logging in as often as I need to without interruption.
