A few years ago they wouldn’t let me board a flight from SFO to Australia because my visa said I was born in 1921 when my passport didn’t agree. After a good bit of hassle we just had me go and apply for (and pay for) another visa on the electronic application site and this time I noticed that it’s exactly what happened: 1Password (IIRC) used my Visa expiration year for my visa birthday.

I’m lucky that my status meant it was an automatic approval for the second visa!

It's amazing though that they literally gave a visa to some other random person without any issue at all (i.e. not even cross-checking some values in your passport).
