Meh, I see it as trust issues on both sides. Trusting that someone isn’t cheating is just as important as trusting someone WITH your password, since they can browse through all your shit and violate your personal space and privacy that you’re still entitled to in a relationship.
My phone doesn't have a password, so my girlfriend can use it if she really wants. But they'd be no reason for her to use it. I've only got her, friends and family in my contacts, and she has the phone numbers of those friends.
There will always be things that I wouldn't share with anyone. That's why I don't like sharing my phone password. It's not like I'm hiding anything bad, it's just I like privacy on my phone. Trust is hard to gain for some people, and even after gaining that trust, they can still be skeptical about you having access to all their info.
My future girlfriend will never get my passwords, but if she wants she can use my device and take a peak but i will be sitting next to her as i care about my security and don't like her to go trough my devices behind my back.
I really don't get why is it that it's always women who argue for a lack of privacy in a relationship? Provided he's not cheating of course, can't a man have something that he keeps to himself?
It's called autonomy. My wife and I have been together for 16 years and we DON'T sort through each others stuff, phone, wallet, purse are private. If we want something shared we ask or provide. We don't stalk or snoop.
You having your partners password will not stop them from cheating. If you need to give your partner a reason to trust you by giving them your password then they aren't worth being with it in the first place.
My gal knows where I recharge my phone, so she can check it if she wants to.
To my knowledge, she never has. I've never checked hers either.

I think it's foolish to share passwords. It's that simple for me. And, so what if I'm hiding something. It's not as if it's a murderous past or an illegal business deal or espionage or just infidelity. I'm just protecting my privacy.
I wouldn't give my password. There's nothing to hide but there's no reason for him to have it. I'd rather him just have his privacy and I'll have mine. If we didn't trust each other enough then we wouldn't be dating to begin with
It shouldn't make a difference. The phone password naturally comes into conversation. If it doesn't, I wouldn't mind. It's their business and their phone
If you can't trust your partner without seeing their phone then that's a problem. Also as other users have said I would not want my text to friends to be read by their girlfriends or boyfriends.

To be fair if anyone cheats without having a 2nd or 3rd phone they’re pretty dumb.
Saying that, you see so many girls have two phones and I doubt they are for professional work and personal life, unlike guys 😂😂😂.

TRUE that
BUT
some have hurtful pasts that prevent them being this open, even in a long term loving marriage
a parallel would be someone surviving the depression, often with little to eat, then becoming a hoarder and penny pincher

almost everyone who uses pasword on phone keep them unknown to others

Well I wouldn't want my girlfriend to know about a surprise proposal before I can spring it, would I?
By requiring your SO password demonstrates that you are a control freak, hopefully you are not psycotic... that would be really bad news.
One guy wanted access to my phone, he was crazy controlling. I have never given my passwords to my boyfriend and never expected his in return.

Privacy is important to me, just wish my parents would see it that way.
I wouldn’t give mine to my parents but if it’s a partner like husband/wife there’s no reason not to
I had an incident with kik, so now my phone is constantly being checked. I use gag in my browser so that way I can keep snooping eyes away.
Disagree completely. A relationship doesn't mean I forfeit rights to all my privacies.
