Poor software development.
January 13, 2025

Terrible experience. No one I talked to understood the process. I was told to just follow their instructions. Several times I looped through the same process. This application truly sucks. There is no logic or flow. This product was not developed. It is bits and pieces of apps put together to gather information. Who knows how secure each one of these pieces really is. I had to use multiple devices to get through the process and had info and pictures stored on different devices. Can you describe cluster to me? That's what it was. Even the submit button at the end of this doesn't work,

I can't stand doing verifications.
January 13, 2025

I had to use this to verify who I was. Being so frustrated, knowing how much of a pain it is to use these things I hesitated, but ended up doing it and getting over it.
To my amazement It didn't have even one single glitch. No errors updating documents. No complains the a 4k HD pic was blurry.
This was quick, simple, easy, with no delay, and no hassle at all.

What the heck is ID me?
January 13, 2025

I was setting up an account with Verizon and sent to this third party website with no explanation. I qualify for a discount for my phone bill and Verizon, nor this site explained the process or why we had to provide very personal information. After being approved (30 minutes of circling this site) by ID.me, the text said it would link back to Verizon so that I could claim the discount and Verizon had timed out or didn't link back up. A complete waste of time and now today, I will have to sit on hold for hours with Verizon to sort this out.

The entire experience was a confusing morass of unclear instructions, multiple sign-ins, error messages and incorrect directions. Avoid at all costs if you can!

Easy and quick process
January 13, 2025

I used ID.me to get near instant access to my IRS file. I was prompted to submit an ID and a video selfie, and I was able to seamlessly interact with desktop/laptop to advance through authentication and also use my mobile phone to submit the ID and take a selfie. The whole process had very clear instructions and took less than 5 minutes.

Untimely links and delays
January 13, 2025

Overall, the id.me verification process was successful but took almost an hour. I created an account two years ago and gave up Id verification because of links not being sent by id.me. Recently, I needed access to IRS and decided to give it another try. Again I experienced issues with links not being sent promptly but was able to complete the process.

Great Authenticator
January 13, 2025

I tried 2 other authenticators and couldn't figure them out. I tried ID.ME and was able to create an account right off. Easy to follow directions and steps and very secure. I'm extremely happy with my choice!
