Felt safe.
July 24, 2023

In a time where anyone messing with your information makes me feel totally vulnerable, I felt they were keeping my tax info safe with the questions and requests.

Taking & uploading the photo from my ID was a bit time consuming (may be just me). Aside from that it's a simple, straight forward process overall.

Banks and other financial companies seem utterly oblivious to the giant security hole they create in our national infrastructure by only supporting Email and SMS. Even when other more secure options are enabled they still let users override it with "Try another way." They should be forced to do better.

Phenomenal
July 24, 2023

My experience was simple and fast. The support agents made it very easy to complete my verification including the video agent. It wasn't even 10 minutes. It was completely fast. The agents are so professional and take your personal info and identity very serious!

ID.me not so user friendly to me.
August 17, 2023

I found completing this process on a phone to be less than ideal. Taking selfies and completing the ID requirements was labor some to me. Then to top it off, the program didn't like my ID photos, so I had to do this a couple of times to get it right. Just very labor intensive to me. Glad its done and now I don't have to worry about doing it again...I hope.
