Excellent customer service
November 30, 2023

I'm totally not computer or cell phone savvy yet they made it easy for me to complete the applstation. And we're just very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and courteous.
They do have certain standards they have to meet.
And they let you know what they are. And how to follow them simple as that.

Using ID.me for the First Time.
November 30, 2023

Setting up a new account with ID.me was simple, fast, and easy. I have already used it to get an online discount with a major retailer within minutes after creating the new ID.me account. It works great! My only concern was having to provide my complete social security number in order to confirm eligibility for the category of discount designation I needed. I think there could be more secure ways to accomplish this.

What's the point?
December 7, 2023

Complex registration that requires transmitting photos of your id used for verification over the internet.
The end result does not seem any better than two step verification.

Unnecessary
December 7, 2023

Too much personal information requested. As an employee of a company, I should not have to provide so much personal information to do my job, much less allow access to my credit score. A secure pin sent to my phone should be enough additional security.

Went through all the steps to set up an account including photo recognition. At the end of the process, was instructed an "error" had occurred and recommended I create a new account. Did not feel like my personal information was protected if they wanted me to duplicate it.

Furthers Identity Security
November 30, 2023

Was required to do this. Took half an hour on the computer but feel my identity is much more secure now. I'm 70 but relatively computer savvy and was able to complete the process fairly quickly/easily

Personally identifiable information (driver's license and passport images) and Zoom videos going back and forth between my computer and smartphone. NUMEROUS verification codes going back and forth via email and phone text, some of them were 10+ digits and sent via Zoom Video voice.

What a Rube Goldberg!
