From the link: > The MFA options range from a six-digit code sent via text message or phone call to code generator apps and FIDO Security Keys. ID.me even suggests using its own branded one-time code generating app, which can “push” a prompt to your mobile device for you to approve whenever you log in. I went with and would encourage others to use the strongest MFA option — a physical Security Key. For more on the benefits of using a Security Key for MFA, see this post. So they don't allow MFA via email? I hope at least they allow the phone number to be international. > After this, ID.me requires the verification of your phone number, which means they will ask your mobile or landline provider to validate you are indeed an existing, paying customer who can be reached at that number. ID.me says it currently does not accept phone numbers tied to voice-over-IP services like Google Voice and Skype.

The security ID process demands US phone and street addresses. They can't set it up for you either so there's no point in asking ... > One document they asked for is a current electricity bill to confirm the address, had to be less than 90 days old. Not possible unless you have a property in the US. ... > Both, ID.me told me they are not allowed to register non-US residents so I called the IRS. They confirmed that and also that they could not register me for an online account either. Welcome to the 21st century! Wow you really can't make this idiocy up.
