I spent about 30 minutes doing everything I was supposed to. Received the green confirmation check mark that my ID was verified by ID.me. I cannot continue the next steps of the process because every time I log in, it says "returning to the verification portal" then times out. I cannot get past this time-out. I attempted to request help online and received a useless bot email. The bot said to respond to it's email and a person would reach out. I did, I haven't received help from anyone. No number to call. No direct way to receive help for your software not working.

I have used ID.me for twelve years now since separating from The United States Marine Corps to maintain access to my files and benefits when needed on the VA's official site which requires a multi factor login process that's where ID.me comes in because of its' great security features it grants me the security of knowing those important things are always protected. ID.me does its' job and does it well.

Sadly I can't give less than 1 star
November 25, 2024

Slow tedious user interface to set up. Then the app didn't work. I verified may military time and got acknowledgement that alwas good. Put in 2FA and biometrics. Tried to apply the mil discount and got unhelpful error popup that said an error had occurred and they were aware of it, but no recommended course of action. Tried several times with same results.Don't waste your time.
