Seguridad ID.me
November 20, 2025

Yo necesitaba consultar algo en el sitio del IRS y me daba esa opción de seguridad y la tomé. Puse mis datos siguiendo todos los pasos y cargué mis documentos tres veces hasta que estaban correctos y me hice la foto como indican y listo. En breves minutos llegó la confirmación por el correo que proporcionaste. Después olvidé la contraseña y me dió la opción de restablecer y también fue fácil y rápido

FORCED ON US
November 20, 2025

I can't give this less than one star I would! IDme was forced upon me and I have no choice but to use this pointless "extra" security company. They are making money by fear mongering gullible people into using it!

It is always easy to give information about yourself, second thoughts should be first and not after giving the information requested. Specifically private information that may affect the rest of your life. Past experiences give light to the future, Who are you?

Cumberdome procedure
November 20, 2025

Having to go through many steps of identification to get approved, you then have to go through many steps each time to go to log-in to a website. It's not fun.

An absolute hassle
November 20, 2025

ID.me is required to request certain government documents. I tried the verification process multiple times and was rejected each time with no reason given. After googling, I found that there's a "live video call verification" option, I went through the signup/approval process again, was rejected again and was able to successfully verify with the live agent. They entire experience was terrible and took about two hours. I absolutely wouldn't use this company unless I was forced to... which I was.

Do Not Use This Site!
November 20, 2025

I spent two hours trying to get this site to work. I tried numerous times with different browsers, and it still did not work. I would recommend using any other site.

Great Experience
November 20, 2025

I pay quarterly taxes to two different states, the IRS and check into the SSA website frequently. ID.me makes it simple and lets me take care of business without having to go through several authentication steps. The time and and process that ID.me saves me is a most valuable tool.

Verifying who you really are
November 20, 2025

I provided my driver's license to the website but then they wanted a selfish. Once I reluctantly took a selfie, they said it wasn't a match. I don't that because I haven't changed in a year. I provided 2 documents that was required but still I didn't meet the requirements. Making this difficult and redundant makes people not want to even bother getting into whatever website that requires ID.me or any other 2 step verification process. After an hour, FINALLY I was able to get into the website & finish my ID.me verification. The video call was very easy and the gentleman who I had was very professional & made the rest of the process easy. Thankfully.

It was very discouraging at first as everything I put in they would put wrong email wrong password it took like 2 1/2 hours and then they would say they had to lock me out because I tried too many times I tried too many times because they kept locking me out was not very easy to do but hopefully it went through OK I'm waiting to hear that everything was settled very much anxiety

Mission accomplished
November 20, 2025

I wasn't able to access my account with the used ID and password I had on file and had to reset which took a while. I'm not computer savvy but I got through it.

Worst software ever
November 20, 2025

ID.me doesn't work. It took me 4 tries to finally get logged in. By the way, that is normal for ID.me. It never works on the first try. To give me a better experience, debug ID.me and fix the problems so it only takes one try to get logged in.

Terrible process for senior citizens
November 20, 2025

Setting up an account is not an easy process for a senior citizen. Many slow, tedious steps involved, many site changes, photos to upload, video selfie to upload, email verification, phone verification. Be prepared to have assistance & dinner already in the slow cooker.
