Misleading information about its service
September 17, 2024

I was told I only needed to verify my identity once. I had a video chat to access one website.
When I tried to access a different website, I had to have a second video chat.
I tried to complain.
Their chat function is useless. Submitting a ticket requires picking options which are not relevant.

I feel safer.
September 17, 2024

I feel that I can let my guard down just a little bit better in a little bit more knowing that I can have my social security Frozen with this company and that I will be notified if anybody tries to do anything to use my social security without my knowledge. I feel that knowledge is power and power is knowledge and with that said protection knowing that you have someone behind you watching your back and letting you know if someone across the other side of the world is using or trying to use your social security but can't because they're standing there and having your back is great. I definitely would recommend this to anyone it's easy to set up a couple of questions easy to verify who you are cuz it makes sense anybody can be anybody so I love the fact that they went through lengths what I mean length I mean they want to make sure I was who I said I was and not somebody else posing as myself which was awesome and they definitely went beyond the call 100%, so I definitely recommend this to anyone who needs that extra security.

Bad programing
September 17, 2024

I went through the process it was slow. Once complete it rejected it for some unknown reason and then locked me out. There is no one to call for help. Your chat bot was of no help at all.

ID.me tricky without cell phone
September 16, 2024

If the ID.me set up process is started on a desktop, make sure there is a camera to take photos of the documents and the person setting up the ID.me. A laptop may be easier. A cell phone is too small.
At least I know my credentials are secure in the end.

Helping hand
September 16, 2024

I was told about ID.me by a friend and thought I would give it a try. I'm very happy that I have. Their support is very good. And I recommend it to other service veterans out there. They have very nice support discounts with various companies. I wanted to give them thanks for their help.
