Why not just lie and give them a fake birthday?
It's not like you can't give them false information.
- ams6110 8y agoSomeone knowing your birthdate isn't really a big deal anyway
- FiveSquared 8y agoSocial Security, dark web crackers, and crappy online forgotten passwords websites want to know your location. I jest. But seriously, DOB is extremely valuable, which is why I never use my real one online except for government stuff like that.
- paulie_a 8y agoTo the poster it sounded like he didn't want to hand that info over. I don't know the reason, I was just providing a fairly simple solution. Also dob is frequently used as a verification. So it is kind of a big deal.
- mac01021 8y agoMaybe that's the point. It's not a very secure method of verification, so it is sensible to want something better, like an ad hoc secret phrase.
- gruez 8y agoprobably because it's cross referenced with your credit file, which they check when starting any post-paid plan.
