Our social security number is very vital in our daily activities. Once we are issued with our own number, we are also given a SSN card where our number is printed. Make sure that it is secure enough, never put it inside your wallet or better yet, as much as possible, don’t carry it around with you. There are many secure places where you can put your card together with your other important documents. But never ever carry it with you.

Many people nowadays tend to become complacent, too complacent in fact, that some even put their SSN in their mobile phones. This is even worst than carrying your card with you. Many people borrow your mobile phone, like your co-workers or maybe even your friends. But how sure are you that they are only borrowing it to call someone or to text someone.

How will you know that they are not browsing for your phone files? There’s no way to find out except if you have installed a special software in your phone which by design asks for a password, that only you knows the combination of, the moment someone tries to open a folder.

But this is only appropriate for those who are technologically skilled. But how about those persons who don’t know about those complicated software? The best thing to do is never to put in your number in your mobile phone to avoid other people from knowing it.

On a daily basis, we deal with diverse transactions, may it be personal or business, like participating in clubs or other organizations or probably opening a bank account. These transactions require you to show a valid proof of identification.

Despite the fact that SSN is a valid identification, avoid using it as one; just give out another form of ID card. Opening a bank account, specifically an ATM account, requires a pin or password, again, never use your SSN as your pin code where system access is possible.
