Do note that their new guidelines at https://design-system.service.gov.uk/patterns/dates/#asking-... suggest using `type="text" inputmode="numeric"` instead of `type="number"`.

The interface looks usually nice, but input=date is horrible to manipulate in many implementations. On iOS choosing year/month is the rolodex interface, as slow and clunky as usual, especially if you’re flipping it for 40~60 years. On android it moves month by month at most, so it’s even funnier to swipe for decades. I think the type=number alternative with validation + confirmation text with the month in letters is…

There's an unspoken privilege in being born on a day beyond the 12th of any given month, because you'll get a validation error if you mix up the day and month in a form

Even better, just have the same value for each
Relying on input=date would probably abstract that away at the client side, but as people said, browser support for it still seems to be bad.

Usually the best solution is not to ask for date of birth. I guess about one in ten of websites that ask me that actually have a legitimate reason for needing to know. (In the present case, a UK Government website might well have a legitimate reason.)
Well Zoom locked him out for some time for trying to lie I guess and that meeting had to be moved to Teams.
