<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">But here’s the thing: if you’re in the Infinite Verification Loop with any agency, the hangup is often ID.me and then you can’t get into your account to log into Id.me to access their “faster” response team.
In my case, they had decided that my account was connected with my prior work email, to which I have no access, obviously. No worries though, says the “help” page, just type in your old inaccessible email address with your old password. The chances that I’m
going to remember a prior password, from a year ago, is .000002%.No worries, says the help page, just put in a few guesses – sorry, guys, the fact that we’re all forced to register 8FUN€beach§woohoo34# means that unless you write them all down you’re screwed.
So there is no way to get in at ALL. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">So you go to ID.me and fill out the “help”email, because you can only report that way, and they say “high volume but will get back to you within a week”. But … we have an 8&15 and the client finally surfaced
and it’s due tomorrow!! So a friend suggested that I call the TM Assistance Center, and ask to talk w true TEAS "technical problems people" and plead for help. They have some kind of Big Red Phone to get in touch with ID.me and get you a response much sooner.
Once I did that, I heard from ID.me a few hours later and the problem was solved by the next day. Not lickety-split, but much faster than the week a lot of people have to wait for ID.me.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
