Took longer than a normal login
May 19, 2023

It took 2 days completing process which I thought would be simple and save time. Direct login would have been much faster. I do not see how it will make future logins simpler or faster.

The ID.me Experience
April 19, 2023

On a scale of Good to Excellent, I choose Excellent! The directions were simple enough to follow directions without seeking help; although, prompts for seeking help or chatting with someone for assistance was provided. The questions were extremely professional. The experience was 100%.

ID Me process
April 19, 2023

I was a bit overwhelmed and nervous about understanding how to do all the things I had to do but if I just calm down read it go to the process I got it done so it wasn't difficult it was just more feeling intimidated a bit but like I said just slow down think about it ask for help from someone else or whatever if you need it but if I can figure out I'd say almost anyone can figure it out.

ID.me is the de facto personal identity authentication process for the U.S. government. I have no knowledge around their contract (though I'm now curious and have been for some time), but they've earned their keep with thoroughness, security and, up to the present, privacy of data.

If you have Big Brother concerns, it's well you should, as this data has the highest potential of misuse in the hands of bad actors or malevolent government. But to protect your online identity and secure interactions with government websites (IRS, military, and so forth), this is the game and it's well played.

So easy
April 19, 2023

The process is so simple to follow. The only drawback is it is very slow when the video is taken and the pictures are uploading but it is to be expected. Overall it was an excellent experience.
