How do you make this proposed new unique identifier more secure than the (admittedly very unsecure) SSNs?
- rocqua 7y agoOnly use it as an identifier, not as a part of authentication. The issues with using an SSN as a identifier (username) are: 1) Explicitly not meant as an identifier 2) Not unique If not for 2, then the SSN could simply be repurposed to be this identifier.
