I took the habit of treating the DOB like a password when asked by an entity that has no business knowing it. I give a random date and keep track of it in my password manager.

Assuming not sarcasm, how does that help? Do you do this for just Facebook or for multiple websites?

I use a random DoB for every website.

(The only exception is banks because it has to match what's on my ID and credit report)

You assumed incorrectly :)

I don't have an account, but I'm fairly sure Facebook doesn't let you edit it once you've given it.

The leak didn't include DoB.

That's not what the Guardian is saying: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/apr/06/facebook-...
