    Slightly OT.
    I know somebody who got married to somebody on their intended's birthday.
    Easy to remember both dates but expensive present wise, or perhaps cheap as in 1 present instead of 2.

    And in the meantime, most people use their spouse's birthday as their PIN...
    I'm sure that some will but do you have any reliable evidence for most?
  • I'm also having problems logging into my account, I find it difficult to believe that I don't know my dad's birthday or my daughter's middle name.
    I'm going to have to take the plunge and phone them to see if I can get to the bottom of it.

    I don't think date of birth has completely fallen out of use yet...
    Even that I have a standard fake one to use on sites that have no need to know the real one.

    I've not been brave enough to provide a fake DOB as that can be checked against a soft credit search. Likely would lead to me having to go though manual identity checks and some embarrassment when the supplied DOB doesn't match my documents.
