Nothing but issues

I would not recommend anyone to use this in place of passwords. Nothing but issues. Because I used my passport to strengthen my ID it was strong and then it expired and I wasn’t able to submit a tax return because my ID strength was lower (standard) than the last time I submitted a tax return (strong).

Confusing and circular help

Terrible

Complete Rubbish

This does not verify your id no matter how many times you try. If it cant do that how safe if this really? complete waste of time !!!!!!

Useless app, useless systems

Can’t sign into the ATO to do tax as the strength of my verification is standard. Can’t change it as I do not have any other documents they list. Can’t call the ato - no ones picking up. Pointless system and confusing and hard to find help. The bot is useless. Just like every other Federal government service, people are the last priority, and political oversight non existent.
