On numerous occasions i've tried to change my Date of Birth at auth.meta.com and it has not worked and said "Cannot change birthday, contact support" I've even tried the Facebook method and it still hasn't worked, I just got my Oculus quest 2 yesterday, so if that has to do anything please tell me. Thanks!

Same thing is happening to my, my account on Facebook has my actual birthday, but it won’t sync with my oculus. I was born in 2004 not 2007. So it makes me underage and won’t let me do most things or games

Hey there, @Lucifer.2237.2023! We certainly want to ensure any changes to the account can be made when needed. We understand there was an error in the change attempted and would recommend ensuring the steps listed on the support page here are followed. Should it still not be possible to change, try the steps below:

  • Clear the cache and cookies for the browser.
  • Use a different browser.
  • If available, use a mobile device on a mobile network.

We hope this helps, and have a great day!
