ID.me Authenticator

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

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...

The most frustration experience ever! This APP is slow, hard to work with & glitchy. You have to constantly repeat the login process over & over again. Not because it's required as much as it is needed, because the APP just won't verify you. You need it for unemployment, so you have to stick with it, but that only makes the experience worse. It doesn't like certain phones & you much use your phone. You can't do it all on your computer. It's simply a painful process.

I should have read the reviews first. I figured push notifications would be the easiest way to log in since I constantly have trouble receiving text codes from id.me. Their website says "open the app and follow prompts." I open the app and there are no prompts. After wasting a couple minutes trying to do anything, I went back to the website and did what I should have done in the first place, I used one of the two authenticator apps that I already have. Apps that actually work. This is useless.
