When prompted, click "Verify with ID.me" to create an ID.me account or use your existing account. Existing ID.me account holders are quickly redirected back to the UC application after logging into their ID.me account.

If you have forgotten your ID.me login information, use the "forgot password" option on the sign-in page.
