ID.me Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with notable strengths in its identity verification service, which many users found secure and efficient, particularly praising the helpfulness of customer service during video calls.

Don't use it
September 5, 2024

Tedious to activate, not at all iPad friendly required numerous repeated steps to complete. Prompts were gibberish. Used acronym MFA without context before I even knew they meant multifactor authentication. When I went to use id.me I could find everything to know about the site except how to login. I still don't know how I got to a login button, but managed to navigate the MFA and get logged in. I selected to go to the SSA, and was redirected to login to id.me (and go through MFA a second time). I suppose two logins that are exactly the same is better than one, just not for me. Did I mention I didn't know id.me is a third party front end to the services I use? If I were to start over I would use login.gov, it couldn't be any worse.

At first when I joined the program I was kind of skeptical on why they want all this information just to be able to access some information that I needed to receive because it is worth a divorce I'm going to but come to find out that everything worked out for the best

Ultimately, it feels a little weird to use your face as part of your right identification, but in the end, it felt like the most secure way to ensure that only I can access my account. The frustration I had with the system was mainly on taking the video selfie Because the instructions weren't very clear and you had to learn to do it mostly by trial and air, but ultimately did work and everything got set up.

Time waster. Constant loop of error, retry, error, sign on, code, error, retry, sign in, code….repeat. No offer or place to go to help. Just poorly designed and they have all of our metrics. Wow.
