Fast, Simple, Safe

Easy to setup, simple and safe process. Once you have the login setup your information is secure and can be used for other logins that request ID.me.

Had IDme, got a new phone, lost password. Can get no help. Texas Workforce doesn't want to give people money and the IRS doesn't want to give you income tax money owed to you. So IDme is PERFECT way to avoid continuing the process because even tho you could easily download everything without them- WITH IDme- everything becomes extra complicated.

Easy to use! Impressed!
September 13, 2024

Used ID.me to complete the application process for state benefits last year. Was impressed at the ease of use. Was able to upload copies of required documents easily and complete the needed video recording on my smart phone without issues. Subsequently used ID.me to access my IRS portal and public health insurance pages. Having gone through it once meant not having to complete most of the process again (had to do the video recording again, but it went quickly since it literally took seconds to finish). The directions provided at each step were intuitive and user friendly.

Life made easy for me
September 12, 2024

Since I am not good at online stuff, I was ignoring it for long time. But with the help of my kids I started to learn and do it. I found it easier to follow the instructions and go through step by step and was able to complete it.

The future of internet login
September 12, 2024

As a Marine Corps veteran in retiree, I was introduced to ID me a very long time ago as a way the log in to my V. A benefit website.
From there, I could contact my doctors check for my payment scheduling as well as refill medications.

I also used. ID me to go to a concert back in 2019. Because it gave a very good discount as I am a retiree out of the Department of Defense. And i've also used it to go to my first ever football game in buffalo, new york, back in twenty eighteen.

Since then, ID me has been my go to way to sign in to any site that offers. ID me as an available way to sign in. It's very easy to sign up, and once you're signed up what the m f a, it's simple and secure to get Logged in to Some of the more useful sites in my life.

I wouldn't mind if ID me became universally available. Log in to most websites. So they're wouldn't you need to be the remembering of passwords and different usernames? And I could just use one main account to log in to all of my other accounts that would make things a lot. Easier and definitely more simple to manage

Not to mention that ID me. Also offers discount to hundreds of different stores and websites to Veterans Retirees, Active duty, Students, As well as nurses and more!

And I don't mean websites, you've never heard of I'm talking about under armor Clothing call her clothing as well as many other top brands including the ability to get tickets at a discounted rate. Whether it be for a football game for a hotel, a plane, a rental car, you name it.They have availability.

I wouldn't look past the opportunity to sign up for I.D me!

Terrible!
September 12, 2024

I am a small business owner and My most frustrating experience has been trying to access IRS website using id.me as long in. After spending severely hours unsuccessfully trying to connect with them over the phone, I had to resort to this option. Anyways, I ended up sending all appeal documents via certified mail anyway!

What a hassle
September 12, 2024

After three attempts to complete the registration we were finally able to complete it. The triple verification was a major hassle.
