SSN isn’t even a well-kept secret, considering you have to give it out for banking, medical, or anywhere else that needs to identify you.

We should have a kind of username / password system instead, where everyone has a unique ID and a separate private ID. We could even use something like RSA so you never have to give out your private ID to anyone.
