Requirements from IRS is to have Adobe as I do. Requested EIN number but was unable to print IRS confirmation of number issued due to security concerns. Luckily I wrote the number down.

Proving to be Trustworthy
January 22, 2026

It is a fearful experience trying to get access to some of the most basic government services (Social Security, Medicaid, Tax Departments). ID.me has proven to be a reliable, trustworthy gateway to get connected.

No Asl interpreter
January 22, 2026

This was my first time signing in to ID.me to access the waiting line for live chat. I informed them that I am deaf, but the representative spoke to his supervisor instead of providing an ASL interpreter. I explained that, according to the ADA, ID.me should provide an ASL interpreter. However, he continued chatting with me by typing, which was acceptable. He is a great type to type with me so kindly. While it was disappointing that I didn't receive the interpreter, I appreciated that he was willing to communicate in writing. They should get an asl interpreter in the future.

By using ID.me you are ensuring that your private information stays exactly where it belongs-with you.

ID.me - Good job
January 22, 2026

The experience is good so far. But do extend the service to all gov/state agencies and even financial institutions (e.g. Banks, brokerage firms, etc.). I hope ID.me learns from Singpass (from Singapore) with (1) Wide deployment in all aspect of life (2) Enhanced security using facial biometric recognition.
Current ID.me's 2FA using token (sent to phone) or authentication apps on mobile phone is not secured once the phone is compromised. One way to improve it deployment of ID.me for all mobile carriers for update of SIMs, update of phone or porting SIM to new phone, etc.
ID.me's Wallet and discount programs are concerns for security for me. ID.me should not tied directly to any form of transactions.

For profit company
January 22, 2026

Don't kid yourself. This is a for-profit company that is paid by the government to create a service for you.

This is not a government website, where cost can be controlled better and have cyber security professionals monitoring, and maintaining them rather than having the huge overhead of a for-profit company.

Why would they do this?
January 22, 2026

Why would the IRS use a third party vendor with our most important information?
Who would have a better firewall?
Incredibly irresponsible.

This government is "Making Me" give up my personal information to companies, governments, and people who can not be trusted. If you've ever been hacked you would understand.

I sure as hell didn't ask for these changes with "MY" social security. Yall made changes to access my information which is "NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS!"

Computers have severely damaged my country I fought for during my military service.

They knew someone was stealing my identity, and allowed it to happen. This affects all my tax returns for years. And has allowed the scammers to change my banking info with the government…. Way to look out for someone who is a us citizen since burth

Signing on to SSA
January 22, 2026

While I have had an account with the SSA for about 5-7 years, the recent changes to logging on were confusing and time consuming. Most know of some changes taking place with SSA and the log on experience, yet spending a whole day waiting for confirmation of a few ID verification documents was quite the challenge.

Zero Satisfactionm
January 22, 2026

There is only a single rule governing this process. We must give our most significant personal information to a commercial corporation so that one of them can deliver it to yet another company before it can be used to allow a citizen to access government web sites. There are no alternatives.

Security with ID.me
January 22, 2026

I have used ID.me for some time now in accessing the IRS website to make estimated tax payments and yearly tax payments. I found it to be a quick and easy way to access my account. Now I can also quickly login to my Social Security account the same way. I feel quite secure in my accounts and know that everything was done to make sure that it is really me that is being allowed to login to this highly sensitive information.

Fantastic service

I needed to access my tax info in a hurry and didn't have to dig out my paperwork. The info I needed was in id.me. It would be a good one-stop shop to handle all types of data.
