Why is there no negative-stars option? A laborious and confusing document upload process that wanted me to go to my phone to upload a picture of my passport, when I have a high-resolution scan of it on my computer. An inscrutable message saying it couldn't be accepted anyway, after I had to finagle getting the scan to my phone. The prevention of me being able to quickly self-service through the advertised "2-5 minute" long doc upload + selfie process, and being sent to the "5-10 minute" docs + video call w/ agent route. An entirely different, laborious, and confusing doc upload mode (from my computer this time) that made me upload 4 documents despite asking for 3. That upload mode accepting the same high-res scan that was unacceptable from my phone. A wait time queue that pretended I had "less than two minutes", "1 minute", "less than one minute" for over 45 minutes over two attempts. Seriously, this is gross incompetence and negligence in software user experience. I felt held hostage for two hours doing all of this nonsense, and horrendously lied to about the effortlessness. I hope AI code authors replace the people responsible for this system; can't happen soon enough.

Happy camper

I could not get log.in gov to work on the social security website. Although it worked fine on the VA website. I had previously set up an ID.ME account and used it. It was nice and friendly. I like it.

It was simple and easy I had a great experience, especially when I started talking to one of the agents when I was uploading my car my ID on the video call yeah when she found out, I couldn't upload my ID on the video call. She asked me to go on the zoom and she directed me to do so so it was good.

Having worked in the field of web access management and systems security, I feel comfortable saying that ID.me is a simple, cost-effective means that enables ID verification across multiple platforms; a process known as Single Sign-On (SSO for short). Using 2-factor authentication (2FA), it ensures that you are properly authenticated, as you attempt to access the systems, you are authenticated as having the correct credentials for access to a given system, and your request(s) to access the apps/data are also authenticated. This authentication occurs PRIOR to you actually being passed to the system(s) which further ensures the access to and safety/integrity of the data.

Easier than I thought
June 3, 2025

Signing up for ID.me was a breeze, very easy & simple. Once I finished the last step it connected me immediately to my SS account which had been locked out my reach for months due to an error with my login credentials.
