    Online banks use this method. I am not happy with this either. It’s government-regulated, so OK (sort of).

    A social media site? No, thank you.

      Banks are usually bound by KYC (know your customer) laws and are required to verify your identity. Imagine trusting some random third-party company with your photo ID though… Insane.
