Do you think it'll stop with those sites? You might need it for your banking app soon, or to browse LinkedIn, or etc.


For banking it's fine; I expect to need to prove my identity to my bank, and it's tied to my bank accounts. And I expect a bank to have high security.

The vast majority of online services have no good reason to want my ID, nor will they ever get it.


Banks already ID you in person (at least the ones with branches). And LinkedIn has been useless for years for most of my family and friends.


Then I'll do my banking in person, and stop browsing LinkedIn. I'm looking forward to my reduced dependence on the internet.


Your bank will close branches thanks to the incredible convenience of online banking.


They haven't done that yet, and if they do there are tons of other banks for me to use.


Is there a single bank that doesn't require ID to start an account?
