| In Finland, this would be enough to get you through the security checks at pretty much any institute via phone, possibly excluding banks. |

| Finland uses whatever the equivalent of a SSN is as a password, US style? |

Usually when identifying with e.g. a telecoms provider you would give your SSN and then some additional piece of meta-data such as address. Chances are everyone has a combination of SSN + address + phone leaked. |
