    cause if someone knows your password and they
    ask you for your birthdate..then they can get on your neopets account :(

    It's bad if someone knows your password.

    I'd rather someone know my password then he know my birthday

    well the thing with the birthdate is..if they become your neofriend
    and you dont have your birthday year blocked..they can guess throughout the year
    or see your age go up one :(

    -_- I don't see the point.

    If someone knows your password, you fail. If someone knows your password and then send you a NM to ask you for your birthday, then they fail. And if you voluntarily let people know your password & birthday... well, can you give me your account name so I can send you a NM???

    Why would you want someone to have your pass rather than your birthday??? The birthday lock is only a secondary security defense. If they don't know your password, there's no chance they'll ever get in.

    They have cheats why do you think people are still losing there accounts :( people use yahoo and hotmail and they found a gap back in 2003 (I think that is the year) they can trace pw and pin that way to the email :(

    i don't think they can get your pw by just knowing your birthday?

    By solely knowing your birthday? Not likely.

    (Unless of course your password is your birthday...lol)
