I agree with https://twitter.com/constmontague/status/1213309357204688899

"... we need a new personal identifier, SSNs are all stolen at this point"

Though identity and authentication should be different things, as an identifier the only real problem with SSNs is that we should be using UUIDs instead.

The hard part is authentication, which should have a far more secure process than merely knowing 9 digits everyone (re)uses.
