Birth date generation possible?

I've thought a little about this as I would like to generate random number birthday dates but am unable to do so at this point. 1Password X/ 6/7 (Windows) / Web are unable to generate all numeric numbers.

Lots of sites request birth dates for registration info and the tendency is to fill in the proper birth date.

How do I fill in birthdays then if I don't want to use my real birth date?

    Hi @wkleem,

    1Password does not currently have explicit support for generating birth dates.

    I really don't see us doing this. Not just any string of numbers can be a (plausible) birthdate, so we would need to build in some smarts into the system. It wouldn't be hard, but it would be of limit use.

    So just do what has been a practice of many for quite some time now. Use January 1, 1970. It has special meaning in a certain geekdom, and has been the fake birthday of choice for many people. You can join the many many privacy advocates celebrating each others birthdays on New Years Day.
