Doesn't work with United MileagePlus accounts, they only allow multiple choice answers!
Yep. I believe when I created my account, I picked ones that were definitely not real answers, ie. "What's your favorite sport?" answer "lawn darts".
TradeKing went full idiot and disabled entering your password by keyboard completely. They implemented an on-screen keyboard and there's no way to opt out. Their support forum is full of angry customers, people who can't use their screen readers anymore, etc. They argue [1] it's to protect their customers from key loggers.

I just added it to my list of stuff that pushing this bookmarklet button fixes: javascript:void(document.onmousedown=null);void(document.onclick=null);void(document.oncontextmenu=null);void(document.onpaste=null)
Wouldn't setting `onclick` to null break desired functionality in some sites?
I always assumed it was for the same reason sites make you enter your email address twice without pasting - to reduce the chance of mistyping. If you only have to enter something once, then you could easily mistype it and then you end up with an account you can't log in to or even recover. But if you have to type it twice, then the chance is greatly reduced, since you'd have to make the exact same typo twice in a row…
In addition, the whole point of making someone type their password twice when changing it is because you can't see what you are typing in a password field. You also can't copy what is in a password field, so there is no danger of someone copying the typoed password in the normal case. You are only stopping people from using something like a password manager.

SSN's in the US are not unique, though they are only used by one person at a time.

Cause key loggers don't track mouse clicks. Lol. Two factor is their best bet.
Here in Norway, almost all financial and government institutions allow a form of authentication called BankID ( https://www.bankid.no/en/company/ ). I use the mobile variant and it works for all government related stuff like taxes, health, relocation notices and also with all banks both when logging in and paying bills, signing contracts etc. It is a legally binding identification akin to signing a paper.

This is what we use here in Sweden as well. The reason it works is that all inhabitants are given a personal identification number upon birth, that consists of our birthday + 4 digits which are loosely based on where we are born and if we are male/female. This number is unique for every person and is used to register to the BankID service (among other things) and ensures that it is connected to a single individual.
What if you have more than 10,000 people who have the same birthday? Let alone people with similar birthplaces/gender/etc. If that's all there is to it it seems like you'd run up against a combinatorical ceiling pretty soon.
