 Regarding DOB.
I can understand being creative with answers to "security questions."   I just have to remember what I had originally typed.

On the other hand, when a bank or medical office asks for my info, I expect that they might be checking my DOB against other records.  I'm not recalling other sorts of entities asking for DOB.  What am I missing?

Try to research the birth date of Rick Moen, resident of Menlo Park,
California.  Unless you pay $50 to a private detective, I'm betting your
outcome after a week of trying will be one of two things:  (1) no
result, (2) February 30 of some year, or (3) February 29 of a
non-leapyear.
