I mean SSNs are the worst possible authentication mechanism and yet we still have to freak out every time they're leaked. Security practices are so utterly backwards everywhere that it's quite apparent no one powerful is incentivised to care even a little bit
When I call my bank they verify with my voice. There are further verification for meaningful actions but its still kind of crazy to be using "My Voice is my Password" this day in age.
Especially since "My Voice is my Passport" was defeated in that movie with a tape recorder and technology at the time. It was never a good idea and even the movie didn't seem to think so.
Yet my bank just turned this on for me as well in 2024. Now I have to figure out how to disable it...and will it really be disabled?
