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.

Overall, while the service is valued for its security, improvements in user experience and support are essential.

As I am getting older and not able to get around easily, my friend and buddy has to do in store shopping for me. Then when he is ready to check out, I meet him to get the discounts offered. He is not a vet I would only like some way to include him. He is my roommate and considered family. I do appreciate the discounts that Lowes give me. Thank you very much.

First of all the ID.me link to the website was down for me for an entire week. I was sending emails to the support team. Finally after a week Por Shae ID.me Member Support responded for me to send her a screenshot of the link error message. After maybe 4 days the link was up to access because it previously was saying I do not have permission to access this site. While I was on the video call to verify my identity, the representative was kind of anxious and did not have any patience with myself as I was trying to show him my credentials. I was already in a state of panic after being locked out of my Social Security account for 2 weeks. I think ID.me support needs to have better customer service training.

Not much of a "selfy" chick
August 13, 2024

I didn't even hesitate to just right away choose for a person to person facial recognition instead of AI taking my self. It never works. Video call with a real person is the way to go. It took literally 4 seconds and I feel way better about it.
