It is important to understand that the birth date and partial Social Insurance Number (SIN) are not being used for login purposes, they are only being used as an encryption/decryption key. Even if someone else knows your birth date and SIN, it is not sufficient for them to access your pay stub as they would also need to get their hands on the ePay stub itself, which will be sent to you personally at your uOttawa e-mail address.
