Convoluted at best
October 9, 2023

Too many steps and too much personal information was required

Positive identification
September 9, 2023

Having a driver's license and additional live selfie is more than anyone can ask for when proving identity.

ID.me is a huge failure
October 9, 2023

First, you have to spend 10 to 15 minutes trying to login. It always takes at least three attempts. Now the government has your biometrics and can identify you wherever you happen to be. Which would be fine if they actually helped… They do not. The old irs.gov let you look at your deposits made during the year for which quarterly estimates. Does not happen with ID.me.com…you can see the deposits made on taxes which you previously filed, but that's it. Maybe it's because I am the spouse of the primary tax payer, which makes it even worse. Trust the feds to discriminate against women… This whole thing sucks.

I like it
September 9, 2023

Tried login.gov and had it all setup a few days ago. My security keys were added and verified but today it wouldn't recognize either of them and wouldn't let me re-add them back in. So I tried ID.me, set up the keys, verified numerous times on my desktop and then my cell and all worked great. I'm looking for solid, secure and reliable logins.

Professional and East to Use
September 9, 2023

This is the first experience I have had with ID.me. My husband is retired Air Force and we do a lot of our shopping on a military base, but it is a 70+ mile drive to shop. I saw an ad for some skin products on tv the other day, and I was interested in some of the products, but I knew it would be a while before I went with him to the base. I found that company online, and decided to order the things I needed. When I was filling out their forms, the page for ID.me came up and I filled it out as a way to get things completed and approved faster. Everything went so smoothly and quickly. My purchases are approved and I'm through shopping much more quickly. I am so glad to have ID.me backing me.

Better than Good but less that Great
September 9, 2023

It's quick & easy & definitely secure which is where my less than Great title comes from. I think that if they created a question with a couple options as to how long they keep your Bio ID vs having you go through a lengthy process or allowing the 36 months default time to expire that would make it GREAT. It's not like you haven't been BIO ID'd. So adding that to the acceptance/acknowledgment box would be the perfect place & time. Other than that it's a wonderful service. No complaints.

Frustrating
October 9, 2023

I was not at all happy with my experience with ID.me it left me in an extreme financial hardship that I am now faced with. Which I believe was unnecessary and could very well have been avoided.
Once I was actually helped the process went rather quick and smooth, however I am still left with cleaning up a mess I feel should never have become to begin with.
