Ah, someone who doesn’t understand modern identity.
Read the docs about the breach above, everyone’s SSN is out there. It’s as secure as your birthday or your dad’s middle name.

- vasco 2y agoExactly why phone numbers are better than SSNs, did you just misread what I wrote?
- MarkMarine 2y agoNo, I didn’t misread it, you can’t use a phone number you can switch around every few minutes as identity for finance. It’s not trusted, it’s easy to see it’s VOIP. You’ll always get sent to IDV or other subsequent verification, but if you have a mobile phone with a reputable cell provider, the provider can verify who you are and if you’re holding the phone applying, if you're in your normal area, if your location history up to that point makes sense, if you just went through a SIM switch etc. this can be your trusted identity. Or, it is your trusted identity, as long as you clicked the yes button
