The first time I tried the video verification, I kept getting errors and then it suspended my account with no explanation. It took months to get my account reinstated, and when I tried it I got unspecified errors again. This time I closed the browser and started over, but chose agent verification instead. Once I was on the video call with the agent, I was verified within a few seconds.

Difficulty in navigating the website, but when I finally made it to video call, found helpful advice abundant. Considering the enormity of their task, these people accomplish their mission with efficiency, and displaying a helpful and knowledgeable attitude.

My experience was very good. All the steps were well explained and the technology worked extremely well and I had not glitches. I used a laptop and my iPhone (to scan my ID). This combination worked extremely well.

Awful
November 8, 2023

They don't communicate, it isn't streamlined, the coordination between ID.me, the IRS, and EFTPS is beyond ridiculous. I lost access to EFTPS for 11 days and got ZERO help from anyone. I submitted tickets.

It is too difficult to set up the ID.me account to receive the Lowe's veteran's discount.I got error messages with no clear explanation about what the problem is or procedures to solve the error. A lot of critical private information is required! How do we know that information is secure! What a poorly written app. I'm closing our Lowe's credit account. Never shop at Lowe's again. If they can't afford the veteran's discount then don't offer it. What a disreputable corporation Lowe's is. They have ruined their reputation with me.
There's always Home Depot!

It is too difficult! I had to use two different devices. I am somewhat tech savvy meaning I can usually figure out what to do and I did on this but it is way too difficult.

Very safe and secure
November 1, 2023

Putting any kind of sensitive or personal information online can be scary. You always worry if you're inputting things into an unsafe or fake website. ID.me is 100% secure and legitimate. They were very professional and careful with my information, insuring I was who I claimed to be.

Clear direction for prep and process, advanced technology enabling user to complete remotely, without time-of-day restriction, MFA security, and can be completed in 10 minutes from start to confirmation. Hopefully, this is a new process rollout for all government issued IDs.
