Easy to Use and Very Secure
January 6, 2026

ID.me was easy to set up, even as a first time user. The sign in process was simple and uploading documents was quick with clear instructions. It felt safe and well organized.

I have attempted to work the process over many days. I need to verify my identity in order to apply for jobs. I have found ID.me to be terrible! The processes offered are non-functional. I could not confirm the option and proceed with taking a photograph of my state ID! I could not register to go to a post office because my phone number is not recognized! Because of those, I am now on deferred retirement, so no longer have a work number! I am in the process of getting a code by mail, and can only hope that (God willing) the process will work this time. Verifying my identity is essential, and this process is unwieldy, frustrating, and nonfunctional! It just doesn't work. I fear that my information and my identity have been compromised! Immediate work is needed to be done to return this process to operability. What a terrible, broken process! I'm very glad to speak in further detail with any representative who would care to call me..

Finally understand - I got it
January 5, 2026

I needed a document from the IRS for an important situation, and I had to go on the web site to get it. It was very difficult to get at first, but I finally figured it out. When I figured it out it was very easy and I was very amazed, very satisfied with the process because I felt my information was very safe, especially the way you had to get it and use it to identify yourself. I was very pleased with it; I will use it again.
Thank you

Not at all user friendly
January 4, 2026

Make sure you have plenty of time to waste before starting this process. It is not at all user friendly and makes you go round and round in circles and still won't finish the process.

I ran through login.gov through SSA website to create an online SSA account, just because it is the first option in the list. Every thing seems fine until the process of verifying phone number. (This is also true for ID.me)
I had literally wasted so many days in trying Login.gov and finally gave up! ID.me provides an extended video call to efficiently resolve the issue.

Personal thought: the phone number on my record for Login.gov and ID.me had been obsolete for a long time (>15 years). Trying to send any verification code to that number seems funny, if not stupid. I bet I am not the only person having this issue. The methodology of trying to match the phone number in the verification process should be revised in order to make it morevconvenient for genuine people.

The survey is a nuisance

They harassed me till I answered a survey and I didn't care for the service. It is necessary only to review Social Security benefits.

Awful, poor software, poor instructions, contradictory in places and times out inappropriately, I youi really need a form in a hurry forget it, they mail them, and won't send them to where you might want them or if that is the only place you can receive mail. Be prepared to pay for the service.

Quick and efficient
January 3, 2026

ID me has simplified the process of signing in repeatedly into multiple websites and having to re-enter my secured information repeatedly. It gives you peace of mind in knowing that not only is your information secure, but the users on the other end are verified as well. I can breathe a little easier as I enter new sites because this service is extremely secure.

Avoid it if you can
January 3, 2026

If everything goes well, it might be a smooth sailing. However any hiccup results in cryptic error messages, which takes hours to figure out and days to correct.
Unfortunately IRS made this the only way of getting into their system, so now we're stuck.

This service just increases your footprint online with uploaded IDs and other info.
Everybody claims their system is secure till it is being hacked. I already have half a dozen free credit monitoring services running compliments of failed "secure" networks.
