About ID.me Authenticator

ID.me Authenticator is a simple and free multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution for your ID.me account, protecting your account from hackers by adding an additional layer of security.

ID.me Authenticator generates secure 2-step verification tokens on your device, including time-based one-time passwords, (TOTP), push notifications, or mobile security keys, to verify your identity.

When logging in, after entering in your password, you will be asked for an additional way to prove it is really you. Either approve the notification sent to the ID.me Authenticator by tapping ‘Yes’ to approve if it’s you (push notification), or enter the verification code generated by the app (TOTP).

Awful
Yeah, even if you have a passkey and know your password, and have MFA, save yourself an hour and just reset the MFA and do the video selfie. It’s literally the only way to log on.

Insecure
Creating an entirely new app and requiring it instead of any of the existing authenticator apps is insecure and a really bad look.

Not a good app
I can access portions of my account with this app, but not all. Keeps leading to dead ends

Two strikes
1) I would prefer to use my own OTP generator. Why does id.me make me use theirs? 2) I tried to submit feedback request and form did not work, LOL. The email field does not get feedback on what you’re typing. Even if you do manage to type your email and it says invalid email???

No backup option
There is no sort of backup or even an option to move codes from old phone to the new phone. You just have to register again.

Why do you not support proven and safe Authenticators like everybody else?
ID.ME until recently supported third party authentication apps, like Authy that use standardized and proven protocols for authentication. Why do you have to come with your own proprietary app so that nobody can use their preferred authentication apps and is forced to install another authentication app. It doesn’t even support an encrypted backup or at least a mechanism to store the shared secrets. If you lose your phone, you’re back to the horrible verification process that could take weeks to process by ID.ME. It’s a shame that ID.ME is given this monopoly on “serving” the US government and they’re completely abusing this position for their own selfish gain.

Identification
This website and app has failed to verify my identity more than once. Even when I tried to get a hold of someone, it still wouldn’t allow me to.
