Quote:IRS users will soon be required to submit a selfie to a third-party identity verification firm ID.me to confirm their identity. The company uses a face match facial recognition system to verify the selfie matches the provided government document. The IRS previously allowed users to access their IRS accounts without submitting personal biometric data. The change marks a major shift for the Internal Revenue Service, which previously allows users to log in with a simple username and password. An IRS spokesperson said users can still receive basic information from the IRS website without logging in.
