Every step is clearly defined as you go - you can't mess it up. I am really glad I added this extra security step. It was very fast.
Not a bad one at all very helpful got all the answers I needed
I was able to use my State Issued Driver's license to verify and since I always carry it on me it was fast! I thought I might have to wait a day or so before I could use it, but other than the time I took to enter the info and take a selfie it was less than 30 seconds until it was approved! You can't beat that!
I used the system to get a copy of my tax return and I felt it was very secure. There were several steps to verification.
Easy to create,strong protection and security.I will always use this to access my ssn benefits and irs.I love that they have strong and safe secure.ID me is a very secure and I feel save using it.I love that they scan your face for verification
The process was thorough, yet simple and efficient. It gave me confidence in the security of my identity.
The process is easy and the use of biometrics gave me a stronger sense of security during the verification process. That's important when it comes to the impact identity theft can have on your life.
While the government claims this is secure, we all know that the internet is not a safe place for identification or personal details. Anything can be accessed and criminals have proven that in the past and they will continue to do so in the future. I was definitely put at a risk by being forced to use this program.
