ID.me Authenticator Customer Insights

1. It's missing basic features like the ability to rearrange your codes, and I opened the app today to find that a bunch of codes I'd deleted (in an attempt to alphabetize the list by readding everything in order) had reappeared, and everything was out of order.In theory this is a good app, but it doesn't allow for uploading of a state id, or, at least I can't find a way to do it, though it does allow for school and work -- teacher, student, and a couple others.

I cant access my irs account and the support system is no good to anybody as they just repeat to do the same steps over and over again.EDIT: Thanks to the new update this is resolved and it is back to working nicely! Original: This app was working perfectly fine until the latest update where it completely removed the names of the websites/accounts that are linked to the codes.
