Simply put, they already have the original information ... your 
account set-up data.  They have, in all probability, also 
verified your data with at least one of the credit bureaus. 

My financial institution(s) also sent me two pieces of snail 
mail. The first was a logon-id and the second was a temporary 
password.  I had a limited time (a week, I think) to log on 
for the first time and change the password ... sounds a lot 
like LotW to me.
