Systemd birth date field notes. This is PII, and totally should not be stored in a plain-text, easily accessible database. For instance, a name + birth date is used by the health care system to authenticate patients. It's a common challenge question, too. Really bad idea, folks. Theory behind this apparently is that only the parent has admin access, which isn't likely, but if an age must be stored, just store an age in years, that's enough.
