Soon? They made me do it a few weeks ago, but it was my first time using their website so maybe people with existing online access haven’t had to do it yet.

I was so hoping that this was satire.

My workplace is starting to implement facial recognition. It’s only a matter of time before I will need it to access the job site.

So the IRS wants a selfie of me. No worries. I’ve got one ready.

I had to do all that when I was getting unemployment in AZ. I didn’t have a problem with it but tons of other ppl did, mainly because it was super glitchy.

ID.me is junk. I have used it and it sucks.

“My workplace is starting to implement facial recognition. It’s only a matter of time before I will need it to access the job site”

So many of my business clients are doing this. Afraid of stolen tech/terrorism etc.

Sounds very intrusive.

Maybe I’ll just go back to closely calculated, minor over-withholding and getting a small refund.

McLean, Va.-based ID.me .... right next to NSA and CIA headquarters, and they are just a cool private startup, that needs your photo.

"an ID to vote?"

Exempted. Too racist.

I ran up against this just Monday and screamed blood murder.

I then was directly by a CPA to where I can get documents sent to my postal address of record. Rather easy, no ID crap. Just dob and ssn.

Waiting on those.

Why would one trust ID.me

Nothing there showing its .gov

In fact looks much like a scam.

All my posts are flagged for immediate Mod review.

If only major city cops were as dedicated
