I have a work iphone that they manage; install all software & push updates, etc. I now need two (free) apps for work that they don’t handle, this means I need to create an apple ID to have access to the play store to download them. To set that up I need to give them name & birthdate. Ya, eff that! I’ve found one of the best ways to prevent identity theft is to not sprinkle your PII willy-nilly all over the place. They need a name & a date, not necessarily my name or birthdate.
So, my fellow dopers, please help me out with my amnesia; who am I & when was I born*?
Well, in a somewhat obvious response Spider-man first appeared in the anthology comic book Amazing Fantasy#15 in August 1962. So…Peter Parker, 08/15/62?
Many comic book names have initials AA, BB, CC, etc. In a slight alteration of that pattern I propose your name should have initials AB. And you should be born on 3/4/56. That way the whole thing is 1(=A) 2(=B) 3/4/56, so easy to remember when you have to supply it again some time later. And there’s only one way to split 3456 into a valid date in US format.
So who are famous comic book characters or celebrities with AA or BB initials that you can combine? Adam Ant and Bob Barker gives Adam Barker. etc.
