About this app

ID.me Authenticator is a simple and free Two Factor Authentication (2FA) solution for your ID.me account. It keeps your online accounts secure on websites that support 2FA. This app generates 6-digit Time-Based One-Time Passwords (TOTP) and PUSH notification based one-touch authentication.

ID.me Authenticator as a TOTP Code Generator: Signing into your account requires your username, password and a verification code that you can generate using this app. Once configured, you can get verification codes without the need for a network or cellular connection when this app is used as a TOTP code generator. You can enroll and connect ID.me Authenticator to your account for 2FA by scanning the QR code at setup time.

ID.me Authenticator for PUSH based authentication: You enter your username and password when signing into your account, then approve the push notification sent to your phone. You will need to enroll and connect ID.me Authenticator to your ID.me account to enable this feature.

Ratings and reviews

Don't even try it. It was terrible. And the customer service was a nightmare. I tried several separate times to go through the ridiculous process of establishing access to my government accounts via this app. Consulted customer service and help techs at least 3 times. They failed to solve the issues. I set up my login on the other access app.

This is the worst app ever, it doesn't show up anywhere on my phone, I have to search in the play store, then I can open it from there. Then, once I do get it open, the ONLY site I use it for, says the security code is not right. This is soooo frustrating! Not to mention, when you re-authenticate yourself, on your phone it says successful, yet it doesn't reflect anywhere, you're still stuck in a loop hellscape.

It took me approximately 325 logins and about 30 uploads of the three (3!!!) items of identification required to be accepted by ID. me! Not a fun way to spend a weekend trying to get EDD verified!! Thanks a lot... because of the delay, I was unable to make the window required to get accepted! For anyone reading this review, I suggest you get verified some other way. As for customer support services are concerned... good luck with that...
