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 DAYS to figure out how to re-enable MFA. The authentication requests will just not work and the app will state "you don't have multifactor authentication enabled on this device" but not tell you how to fix it, has ZERO options to fix it within the app, and the in-app ticket submission option does not work. I only found the info I needed because I stumbled across it. Unreasonably useless app.

Absolutely HORRIBLE APP. Keeps crashing, will not allow youy to download to a computer or laptop. Restsrts endlessly in aloop that never ends and when you try again, it goes back to the same error message. Simply frustrating and not fit for human consumption. I wish there was an alternative, but I have to have this to link my records. I am lost in space! No help desk and no one to reach out to. Very, VERY bad App.

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.
