Is this a scam?

[Ali1cedowntherabbithole]

Have an email this morning purporting to be from itunes, saying that under new legislation I need to add my date of birth to my password.

I'm fairly sure the GDPR didn't ask companies to collect additional personal information, so a bit baffled really - my head says scam.

Has anyone else had similar?

This is almost certainly a scam.
Delete the email

Sounds like a scam to me.

When you log into iTunes it will ask you for a new password if this is true.

I have not been asked for dob in password for anything.

Most iTunes emails are scams.

What legitimate reason could there be for asking for your password? obvious scan.

I got it. Think it my be kosher as there was no link to click and it used my name it my email address. . Then I thoght- bonus, less junk mail. So ignored it anyway.

i would say scam. I have never heard of anywhere asking for a password to contain info like a date of birth. I would delete and ignore. If you log in through the proper, official app and it prompts you for a new password,t hat's the only way i'd advise changing it

Think it my be kosher as there was no link to click and it used my name it my email address.

Using your name and email address isn’t a sign of it being authentic. That’s easy information to find.

A reputable company should never ask for your details in this way. Checking the email, can you see spellling errors? Odd addresses? Is it asking you to to click on a strange link? These are the hallmarks of phishing.

Gah, ignore the mistakes, suffering from the iPad curse on mn. The email I got said if I didn't add my dob, they couldn't send any more emails. Fine by me.

Don't password guidelines specifically recommend not using personal information - such as date of birth - in passwords?

Scam.

Oddly enough if appeared to be a correctly spelled email using natural English crow, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's dodgy.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions.
