Only for government services / banks, everywhere else no. Nordic countries already do this. Japan also recently introduced "MyNumber" exactly for this purpose and makes doing taxes more straightforward, though "MyNumber" is kinda mixed bag as it allows connection to many third party services and offers points for purchases etc..., I only limit my use for the taxes and government services.
- Ekaros 3y agoFor Finland I use it with ISPs too. Which I find reasonable as that means no need to go in person to set it up. So there is certain services mostly specific subscriptions where it can make sense. Not saying credit card is not valid option for streaming. Or having someone like Klarna in online shopping. But when we think of phone, landline-internet, electricity and so on strong authentication does make some sense and is acceptable.
