My birthday is on a leap year, so how do I go about entering my API details?
If you were born on a leap year (29th February), follow these steps to enter your date of birth:
- Select your birth year from the dropdown menu
- Choose February as your birth month
- Select 29th February from the available dates
The 29th February option only appears after you've selected a leap year (like 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, etc.).
