So the IRS has apparently completely phased out their previous account system for ID.me. And the "upload a photo of an ID and take a selfie" requires a smartphone. And it's not that they're using an app, no, they're just using the standard browser capture APIs. Yet they won't just let me use the goddamn webcam I have strapped to my computer, which accomplishes the exact same thing. But it gets even dumber: if you click the "I don't have a smartphone" button, the only option is a video call using that same webcam they won't let me use to take a photo.
