Social Security Numbers as a root password for your life is such a bad design.

@milego Are you a US citizen or US resident? Because the answer is "any key infrastructure you use" in that case.

@cwebber WHAT? I never use my SSN for passwords. Such bad security design.

@milego It's not literally the password you use. But you can get access to anyone's bank/insurance/retirement account with the info of last name, last four of someone's SSN, and date of birth. That's effectively a root password right there.
