My ID.me.
November 19, 2024

It was ok, I just couldn't use my old username or password which I had for years. Now I have to get used to the new username and password.

Good luck if you are an elderly retiree
November 19, 2024

First, I started all this on my computer since it is easier to see. Unfortunately, you can't do this on the computer you must do on a smart phone. The other option was sending your information via USPS. Since ALL my personal information would have been enclosed all I could imagine was identity theft. If you moved closer to the children in your later years and that resulted in a move out of Florida they assume you are dead unless you can prove you are not. The Florida retirement system wasn't going to continue sending my retirement pay unless I could prove I was alive. Calling FRS won't help. There is no help line to prove you are alive.

Overkill
November 19, 2024

Was very frustrating trying to set this up & while I understand the importance of preventing identity theft, this whole process to be able to gain access to my Social Security info. Is typical bureaucratic overkill.

Well done
November 19, 2024

Everything went smoothly, after the agent provided a lot of help getting started. At the beginning, my almost complete ignorance of cell-phones and video stuff was an obstacle, but the complete professionalism, patience, and skill of the agent made the whole process, dare I say, enjoyable.

One minor beef: When I clicked on "Submit" below, it didn't work. When I checked this form, I saw the stars at the top. On clicking on them, I realized what they were. If someone clicks on "Submit" and there is a fault in the form, the user (me) should be informed of what the fault is.

DON'T GO HERE!
November 19, 2024

There is no site that is hack-proof. This site is pushing a lie. Your information will be hacked, compromised and sold to the highest dark web bidder. If there is an alternative (which there isn't because it sucks to be you), use it.

Makes me feel secure.
November 19, 2024

This site is mostly easy to use and conveniently listed on many sites. I feel secure now that I'm verified with ID.me. It's not too difficult to do, and worth the security factor.

ID me (Set-Up)
November 19, 2024

Such an easy process, just follow the instructions and you're good to go. I set mine up within 7 minutes it tells you everything you have to do. Tip: take a picture front and back of your drivers license or state ID ahead of time. I keep mine stored in my photos. Also close out all your apps. Easy, easy process.
