I'm making a web app targeted towards users who are very tech illiterate, so a lot of them won't even have emails.

I know that the only two "identifiers" for accounts are emails and phone numbers.

I also know phone login is a thing but I don't think it's the best option for my case.

All of the user accounts will be previously generated, so they don't have the need to sign up.

So I'm just wondering if there is a way I can implement an "id" login (state issued id for a person), that is not dependent of an email or a phone number.

Any ideas?

TL;DR
Developers seek alternative login method without requiring email or phone number for tech-illiterate users. They consider using anonymous sessions or implementing an "id" login with state-issued IDs.

Or just make the data public.
