The fact that you're considering leaving him over him protecting his privacy.. You really need to step back and really think about the truth of this. you're a jealous person.. He deserves privacy.

Let me put it a different way, I have a job where my phone is company property, If my wife were like you, we would never have gotten married. If i gave her access to my phone, not only would i lose my job, i would be facing prison time because company data is on it. I have a security clearance, they take stuff like that seriously.

From an IT background I just change passwords regularly as a matter of security. Most corps would force this as essential.

How do you know he changed his password? Were you snooping and found you had lost access to his phone?

Phone snooping is a sack-able offence you know. I know a guy who just sacked his girlfriend for this. Up to then he had been delighted by her and very pleased he had scored her.

It depends. Did he catch you going through his phone without his permission then changed it or acting suspicious lately

[spiritGirl13]

I saw a picture of him and his ex old picture and then he changed it

[bkcutie11]

I have had the same thing happen. How long have you guys been together

You knew his phone, routinely looked at his history, and then he changed his password? A bit of background would be helpful!

It's his phone; if he wants a new password, he can have a new password

[spiritGirl13]

you right.

Why would he ever give you his phone password? He should have dropped you when you asked for it.

LEAVE him? Fo this? How old are you?

Investigate first; ask why he did that and probably he forgot to tell you. And honestly, I don't think people should share passwords either way. It's a bad habit.

I've had same password for a decade. Never had reason to change. I'd find it a little odd, without a reasonable explanation. Is he refusing to give you his password?

[RavVid]

It is just good practice to change passwords routinely and you should reconsider your habits. Corps force you to change passwords monthly for good reason and often your smart phone is part of the security to logon to work computers.

It is a bugbear I grant you. it wouldn't be so bad if there were universal password requirements eg say 12 characters with a Capital letter, numbers and special characters. Instead there is always going to one site that wants 13 characters.. My own approach is to have different levels of passwords a simple easy to remember one for sites like GAG and a more robust one for my bank.. That way my important passwords are more secure.

Frankly I am surprised you think he should give her his password. Should he give her his bank password? If there was an illegal transaction on his account and he admitted that his girlfriend knew the password , the bank wouldn't be refunding that illegal transaction. Giving your phone password out is close to giving your bank password out if you are silly enough to use a phone bank app.

I just wouldn't trust an app to overwrite important details with binary zeros immediately

[Drumlin2001]

Banking password is miles away from from unlocking phone. Changing phone codes a common sign of cheating. If he has nothing to hide it shouldn't be a problem

[RavVid]

Not if you have auto complete or carelessly use the same password and don't change regularly.

It is your right to expose yourself but not your right to insist others don't take steps to protect themselves.

Have you talked to him about it? Did he know you knew his previous password and refuse to give his new one or were you checking his phone behind his back?

[LiamJHayden]

More context is needed. How do you know he changed it - did he give it to you or did you watch him and see what it was, and then went through his phone?

[UniquelyBasic]

Dump him now. Unacceptable 🙃

[spiritGirl13]

Lol just jump right in to it huh?

[Nikki1989]

He is probably hiding something from you.

[Snedger____]

Because it’s his phone

[jjj101010]

[BJP21]
