Now more than ever is the time to have a secondary ID. These hacks and data leaks are getting out of hand.

What is a secondary ID?

[–] Scaramanga@thelemmy.club 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

A grade A scannable ID, usually a driving license. It looks like you, but isn't you. Perfect for age verification and all this other nonsense they want us to do.
