Somewhat fast
October 29, 2023

It took me sometime to figure where to sign and accept my form. Once that was done it was easy to upload my document. I was not sure if was safe to do face recognition. My son told me, he went though the same situation. After that it was easy. Thank you

Mostly easy to use
October 29, 2023

At first I didn't feel comfortable not knowing if this was legit. I have used different entities in the past for jobs I had applied for to prove it was me. I'm hoping my sensitive info stays safe. I don't know how my sensitive info was used to file for my 2022 taxes, saying I was filing single, using my maiden name, when all these years I filed jointly with my husband since 2000

I recommend IDme
October 29, 2023

It's super easy. If you don't understand everything then you can video chat with an agent and they will help you step by step to make sure you get verified.

Difficult to navigate
November 5, 2023

Couldn't reset my password and/or user ID. Had to use new ID to re-establish connection capabilities. No other government liaison websites available? Have to use this one for all 3-4 veteran connection points. (DOD, DEERS, Myhealthyvet, etc) Could find no phone number to get help with sign in.? MUST CHANGE sign in every 6 months. Can't the government make it more difficult for us older veterans to navigate their systems. Wasn't enough that they micro-managed the last few wars so we couldn't ever achieve victory?

I was expecting the setup process to be very complicated, taking a couple of hours to jump through hoops but that was not the case.
