I don't think it should be expected. My girlfriend and I know each other's passwords but we don't go looking through each other's phones except by request (like if one of us is driving and gets a text we might ask the other one to read it and even respond to it). We trust each other and respect each other so we don't have to monitor everything the other one does.
I also think that looking through someone else's phone is disrespectful to their friends and family members that might have sent them messages they don't want shared with anyone other than the person they sent it to.
My opinion is that anyone that feels that they need to search through their partner's phone has a significant trust issue in the relationship and that is not a good thing.
I'm not gonna wade into what's best for other couples, but my wife and I know each others' passwords for EVERYTHING. You never know when you might have to do something to help your partner out.
In fact, last month, my wife realized that she left her phone in my car. She needed some info she had on there, and asked me to text it to her work phone. Job's done.
Besides, if you don't have anything to hide, then why would it even begin to matter?
I would share with my boyfriend/spouse because if there's an emergency, he might need to be able to get into my phone. I dont want him searching through it and whatnot but yeah he knows mine and I know his.
I've never searched through his phone, despite having known his password for over a year. I dont know if he knows my password by heart or not, he's been in my phone to find a person's phone number before.
I wouldn't be okay with him wanting to go through my phone just to be nosy, that's an invasion of privacy and is not okay. If he has a specific thing he wants, that's perfectly fine. I dont have anything to hide, but I also need him to trust me. It's the principle.
I think that's between the two individuals. If my partner wants my password, he can have it. I do think it's a sign of trust but I still wouldn't access his phone without asking him first.
I don’t think it’s good to be too dependent on your partner, even if you are married because people cheat, they get sick, they become disabled, and they die. It’s important for everybody to have some degree of autonomy so that if the relationship changes, they can still survive on their own.
I don’t think someone needs to know anything and everything about a person even if it’s your girlfriend or boyfriend or whatever.
So no, it isn’t necessary. If you want to share, fine but some people aren’t comfortable with it. What bothers me is that some people are upset when they’re denied access to their SO’s phone. This makes them paranoid. The reason why some people don’t share their passwords mostly isn’t that they’re cheating on you or lying to you. They simply like their privacy, something everyone needs.
If you have nothing to hide there should be no problem with your spouse having your password. I think it's a huge red flag if a man or woman won't let their spouse see whats on their phone. My guy and I have the same password. We never snoop on each others phone because we trust one another, but if my phone is closer and he wants to use it, more power to him.
I personally see it as the opposite of trust. To trust someone you shouldn't have to snoop through their personal stuff. You should be able to know and to trust that they're not doing anything wrong. If I was with someone who cheated on me, I would want their phone password to be able to check on them... because of lack of trust.
Nah, I'd rather not. Too much sensitive information on my phone, like passwords for other things - bank stuff and such. Nothing to do with trust, but with being sensible.
Also I feel partners should trust each other to be faithful, not check on them.
No. You are entitled to privacy. You should trust your spouse enough to let them share with you when they want and respect when they don't. Not doing so shows a lack of trust.
I would say that they don't have to and should never be forced to do it or have it as a rule cause somethings my be liked private maybe a convo with one of friends talking about one of there personal problems. And maybe that personal friend don't want anyone to know about it.
Or just maybe silly things like Gag. Ethier way they shouldn't have to.
Me personally have no password for my phone so couldn't really share something that i don't have.
Yes because they can be an “open book”. My boyfriend has no password on his phone. But on the other hand no because almost every time I go on his phone or pick it up he always comes over and makes sure it’s “girlfriend proof” meaning he closes out of all the porn websites and other things like that.
There is always a level of privacy everyone needs before it’s too much and it’s crossing the line.
I don't see why it matters unless you have something to hide. I don't even have a lock on my phone lol anyone can access my phone easily. But I always have it with me so never happens. But looking through someone's phone without their permission is fucked up though.
I don't have a lock on my phone so anyone could look at mine, it doesn't bother me if my phones there and one of my sons uses it or my husband, he's told me his for if I need emails from his account or numbers but I don't remember it I'm not bothered about his phone.
It's very simple. If you aren't willing to share it, then it shows you have something to hide or is at the very least somewhat suspicious. Trust is something you build over time. A good relationship wouldn't get offended or take it as a big deap if their partner wanted their password. My girlfriend and I don't know, but I would give it to her with no hesitation if she asked and I know she would do the same.
I only have a password so I don't pocket dial people. I have no problem with an SO knowing my password.

It doesn't really matter. Me and my boyfriend know each other's passwords but that's just for conveniance. If one of my friends text me, he can answer if he wants to. We don't really have anything to hide. Most embarrassing thing you can find on my phone is some notes I've made when I've been sad. And I doubt he would even look through my notes long enough to find them xD

Most of the guys saying no prob might have or will cheat one day, oops im just saying
by the way yes, like invasion of privacy? Bruh you're married. In the same house. Might have kids already. Obviously had sex b4. All of this isn't consider privacy? Hellooo people😂
It's just a phone If my other says I want see your hp, im just like nah, gives out to her 😂
Yes. I believe that marriage is giving your all and holding nothing back. So holding back a cell phone, which is such a big part of my life, would make me a hypocrite.
I don't think so. Demanding to have your partner's passcode just shows a huge lack of trust, rather than someone giving it a sign of trust. That being said, I don't have a passcode on my phone and my boyfriend is free to use my phone with permission.
