I was nervous and worried that it might be like an interegation session, but to my surprise it was very relaxing and secure. I felt I was safe in providing my information and that it was being handled by professionals. I recommend this service to anyone wishing to have their identity handle the right way.

ID.me isn't always easy
May 19, 2023

ID.me can be frustrating if you aren't paying close attention like me. I was in such a hurry to be through that I was making simple mistakes. But, thanks to the patience of the Verizon customer service representative, she made it easy. ID.me is fine the way it is.

If you can't seem to get the video app to work no matter what you do, try a different browser. I made 20 attempts to connect, all futile. When I quit banging my head against the wall that was Mozilla Firefox and used Microsoft Edge instead, the app worked on the first try.

Technical nightmare!
June 17, 2023

After trying unsuccessfully a couple of months ago, I tried again today to gain access through ID.ME to my IRS account. After 1 1/2 hours of struggle today, I finally was successful. I'm on my computer and phone all day, and this was one of the worst processes I have experienced.
