Windows may show a blue warning. Here's why, and what to do
Windows shows "Windows protected your PC" for new programs that haven't paid for a publisher certificate yet. Free My ID is free and hasn't bought one yet. The warning doesn't mean anything is wrong.
Not sure about this step? Ask a family member to sit with you. Here's a one-page guide for them.
Open the file you downloaded
It's called FreeMyIDSetup.exe. You'll usually find it in your Downloads folder, or at the bottom or top-right of your web browser.
-
Click the small words "More info"
If a blue box says "Windows protected your PC", don't click "Don't run". Click More info instead.

Check the name, then click "Run anyway"
Make sure it says the app is FreeMyIDSetup.exe. It will say "Unknown publisher"; that's expected. Then click Run anyway.
Only do this if you downloaded the file from this page or from our GitHub releases page. If it came from anywhere else, delete it.

How to know it's really us
Stay safe: only download Free My ID from this page or from our GitHub releases page. We will never email you an installer, and we will never call you.
For helpers: check the download is genuine
Each release lists a SHA256SUMS.txt file. In PowerShell, run Get-FileHash .\FreeMyIDSetup.exe and check that the long code matches the line for FreeMyIDSetup.exe in that file.
Removing it
Open Windows Settings → Apps, find Free My ID, and click Uninstall. It asks whether to delete your saved records too.
