Hacker bait disguised as security
November 16, 2023

This is the dumbest approach to security ever peddled to the fed.
Lobbyist driven to be sure.
Consumers will pay a dear price by having to share sensitive data. The hack is right around the corner.

So quick
October 17, 2023

I needed to access info on last year's tax return, and was able to quite quickly view a transcript through ID.me. I am not very computer savvy, but my experience with ID.me was quite easy. I just can't get over how the needed information was delivered to me so quickly after a brief wait. No long applications to fill out, no waiting for snail mail to arrive weeks or months later. I had my needed info in about 20 minutes. Amazing.

Horrible experience
November 16, 2023

I was totally lost the entire time. It took a long time to understand what I had to do to get verified. I am still wondering if it was worth the time. There is no live person to help you navigate through the site to help you.

Protection from the Darkness
October 17, 2023

ID Me was simple to setup, once setup you are protected from hackers trying to steal your identity. ID Me gave me the safety and security needed when on the web filling out important information.

Awkward
November 16, 2023

This system is difficult for the average non form-filling person to be able to navigate with sureness. It is neither nimble or swift. Directions for some parts were good, others were pretty awful. Be prepared to have a lot of paper or other ways to take notes, remember passcodes, passwords, and other stuff. Also be prepared to have ready access to various documents and a functional video app or smart phone - 'cause you'll need them.

Pretty Painless!
October 17, 2023

It was very quick and even my older model smartphone could handle the ID and selfie picture taking. I was impressed. And I'm glad that the company is looking out to reduce fraud and ID theft.
