I thought it would be more difficult. It was very helpful.
It was easy and quick and secure right from my cell phone.
Very comprehensive and thorough process. The verification consisted state of the art techniques. Taking advantage of utilizing multiple governmental and consumer organizations to verify who I am.
Good experience once i became familiar with process and overcame difficulties with iOS
After numerous tries connecting, days in a row, I had a pretty negative outlook toward the entire process. I thought it to be inconvenient. Then I realized that it was my own settings that was creating the connectivity issues. Still, I was tired of having to go through it. But the rep who assisted me that final time, was so genuine, so helpful, so sincere and she had such a joy that you could actually hear in her voice as she talked me through it. She turned my mood around! She was highly knowledgeable and gave simple instructions. She totally changed my outlook of this process as a whole. Thank you so much for taking such care in your employees. It makes such a difference and is greatly appreciated!
I don't think I ever got in! I am very good with my phone and iPad and this was very difficult. I'm sure there are a lot of people that cannot do this at all.
