My company uses them for commuter benefit management and I just realized that they use social security numbers as usernames to login to the site. How absolutely bad of an idea is this and how can I get my company to stop using them?

How can I convince my company to stop using them for benefit management? I think it's a terrible idea to use social security numbers as login usernames
