    Still, you cannot change the number and it’s a disaster if it leaks, which is very easy. Instead, our country uses IDs with chips that can be used with standard readers to securely authenticate with government and private services online. There is also a changeable PIN and optional third-factor authentication. People who cannot or don’t want to use the system need to visit the institution or a CzechPoint site and show the physical card and their face.

      Yeah. In our case it’s worth noting that the social security number system wasn’t designed to be used the way it is used. It was just meant for retirement tracking.

      Now if we tried what you described, we’d probably have people screeching about the number of the beast and new evil Democrat deep state conspiracy theories. Sigh.
