My experience was fast understandable reliable and secure I really do appreciate the agent involved with my verification, I most definitely see why he has why he has the job, an ID that mean you should know that they have a good employee on their hands.

This is a caution to those who are photosensitive due to a medical condition. The "selfie" required to sign up with ID.me is not a normal photo. The picture process involves red and green flashing lights. There was no warning in the information and it caused me to have an episode. Please proceed with caution.

I had not heard of ID.me so it was good news. Please keep my private information private.
Self explanatory, fast and easy. Several ways to secure my identity, and given the choice not to use biometrics
It was highly frustrating to try to log in to the IRS site and find out that the login that used to work had been replaced with ID.me. It was clunky and slow, and could not complete my verification, so I had to sign up for an appointment. Because it was late in the evening and there were long wait times, I had to wait until the next day. Prepare to be very frustrated.
The login process was easy to follow while providing security to make sure it is you.
It's ok and the process of getting id.me is different
