That assumes all players will use the number correctly. SSN is an example where that did not happen and is used as an authentication and authorization token at the same time.
- nojokes 6y agoThat is true and it requires some educating by the state. Not possible when the state is using it wrong.
- sumtechguy 6y agoEducation would not work that well either unfortunately. On the card it says 'not for identification' (in most cases now). Once the number was disassociated from the advice people did whatever with it. It is a thing where identity theft usually starts. It is one thing companies like to do is get whatever info they can and keep it forever and do random things with it.
- sagarm 6y agoIdentity theft itself is an example of regulatory failure. How is it my problem that you gave someone a loan based on practically public information? They should have to prove, beyond simply an SSN, that an individual is responsible for the debt before being able to send it to collections or report it to credit agencies.
