What should have taken five minutes took two incredibly frustrating days - and I'm still not able to complete my task with the government website for which I need the ID.me account. Absolutely hated the entire experience. Fix this, please.

Testing…
November 4, 2023

I really like this idea of giving some sort of security for online shopping. Especially with all these fake sites. However, try to get your participating partners to eliminate the double entry of credentials. If I sign into the ID site, I want the rest of my experience to be fluid. I found that I was having to sign up more than shop. I hope this gives you some insight on how to improve your website experience!

Customer service rates a negative 10
November 11, 2023

Was notified account was "temporarily suspended". "Chuck" in "customer service" provided no helpful information about the cause of the probelm or any way to address it, with these exceptions: his responses included "if you are dissatisified with this response reply to this email and we will investigate further"...and after 12 of those circular answers and replies I gave up...and the second suggestion was "contact the agency involved with this problem"...so good luck with that...THE IRS DOESN"T DO TECH SUPPORT

Disappointment in ID.me
November 11, 2023

I have found ID.me used by more and more organizations as the reference for authentication of credentials. Consequently it is very important to have a vehicle to consider "exceptions to the norm", i.e. Individuals that have strong documented verification but not the document(s) called for by ID.me. Otherwise these non-standard individuals/cases get left by the wayside. ID.me does not have such a provision and individuals are being left by the wayside. Consequently I rate it as "poor".

Make sure you do a trial run after setting the verification process up. During the verification process, the verification codes sent to my telephone worked. After completing the process and trying to access SSA through ID.me the login failed repeatedly as I never received a text message with a 6-digit code. I tried this process three times, each time receiving a new 12 digit emergency login. Fortunately, this worked, but it is not optimal as a long term solution.

Great deals!

It was fast and easy. I provided some basic data, responded to their email and the discounts appeared shorty thereafter. The discounts were steep too! It's a no-brainer.

Meh. It worked, though.

I should be saying my experience was full of Joy and Delight. It wasn't. You could differentiate this product a lot with a better UI/UX. The experience was on a par with your competitors, which is bad.

I had difficulty figuring out how to send my documents on my phone, so I elected to go to the zoom version. I so glad I did. It was simple, straightforward, and I was delighted to actually see a real person!
