ID Notify login. How do I know I can trust the email?

I enrolled in the ID Notify option. In another post on this forum, an expert responds that to login to the ID Notify one must simply look for one of the emails. However, these emails could easily be spoofed and used for phishing . . . something the ID Notify product is supposed to help with. The emails do not show up from an email address as simple as (at)intuit.com or (at)idnotify.com . . . it comes from an (at)mail.idnotify.com address...something that looks exactly like what a phishing email would come from. And the link in the email is not something like ......idnotify.com .... nope, its https://sso.identitymanagementcenter.com/sp/startSSO.ping?PartnerIdpId=sso:imc...... another suspicious looking url. So, rather than referring me to an email that i have no way of knowing if it is legit or not, could somebody please post an actual link that can be used by those of us that use the ID notify service signed up through TurboTax??? When I try to sign in to idnotify.com it does not work, and from what I understand there is a different login site for those signed up via Turbotax.

Somebody at Intuit should really look in to this idea of asking people to trust emails that look phishy and that contain phishy looking URL's to log in to . . . sort of goes against the whole idea of being careful with personal information.

Your safety is our priority, and we'll help you check the email, gatehealing.

We appreciate you for bringing this matter to our attention and spreading awareness about this. We are committed to protecting and securing the personal and financial information you entrusted to us. Before opening a link in an email, make sure that it’s a trusted site like www.quickbooks.com. If it looks suspicious, search the site in your browser and don’t select any links in a suspicious email. Then, please forward it immediately to the Intuit Online Security Center. Just don’t cut or paste content to keep tracking info and delete the email from your inbox. Also, please secure an antivirus program to your computer and make sure it's up to date so that it can detect any malware or viruses.

I also added this article for you to see the updated e-mail address of the Intuit Security Team and to know more about the latest security information: Recognize and report suspicious emails (Phishing).

Thank you, but in terms of the ID Notify product offered via TurboTax, what is the URL that I should use to log in with? I do NOT want to rely on an email. . .sure, I'll send it in to the security team, but I am asking how to find the safe URL??

I want to ensure this is taken care of, @gatehealing.

To fix this, I'd recommend getting in touch with the TurboTax Support team. This way, they can give you the specific URL that you can use to log in.

Please check this article to see the latest information from Intuit on how we protect your data and how you can protect yourself from email scams and other security risks: Recognize and report suspicious emails (Phishing).

Keep me posted if you have other questions. I'm always here to help. Take care!

Thanks everyone for revealing the incompetency and danger of using intuit/quickbooks products and the failure of IDNotify as a supposed benefit. I can't beleive I fell for the same exact phish and wouldn't have been able to conclude anything without this VERY well presented post from gatehealing. You presented exactly the situation and they flipped all their users the bird and left us hanging.

I can't believe it is now 2023 and it seems as if nothing from this thread has changed. Intuit seems to have devolved into the mantra of "Do absolute minimum, maximize profit" mantra of most other companies.

Same issue as everyone else above, really suspect looking email from "IDNotify" with a link absolutely stuffed with random characters and starts with garbage like "click1.mail.idnotify" at the start, and that sure doesn't look like a safe link to a secure login to me. It is utter and complete nonsense for ANY company to require you to log in to their site through an email, much less a "Security" company.

Absolute trash.
