@badsamurai@infosec.exchange My dad has been fighting with ID.me for at least three years now to no avail. He still can't log in to the VA, and has to call in every time to renew his prescriptions. ID.me literally doesn't even work

@badsamurai@infosec.exchange Wow, I did not know ID.me was private. I had assumed it was run by the government. I should really stop assuming things…

@badsamurai@infosec.exchange I guess using the domain they control in it's entirety was too restrictive. Possibly due to federal regulations. Perhaps the .me domain was picked to end run those regulations.

@badsamurai@infosec.exchange Was just yesterday finally forced into creating an account. The IRS sent me a letter, and it's not possible to let your accountant talk to the IRS on your behalf without first handing your personal info to this private company who, as you point out, lets the country of Montenegro (.me) manage their DNS. Also, getting set up was horribly broken, and after numerous opaque failure messages, I had to fall back to a video call that required me to have and use a Google account.
