How do you feel about sharing your passwords with your partner?


Probably the same way I'd feel about sharing soiled toilet tissue with them too save money and the environment which distinction between recycling and reusing may not be evident until you actually try to do it 😵🤮🥴🖕👎🚽🧻👫💩🤯♻️.

There's a whole slew of criminal civil liability concerns involving giving someone access to your financial banking or citizen identification and motor vehicle operators permit identification data like driver's license number Social security number account number etc. That open access doors to medical information financial information voting registry information prescription medication information insurance information etc maybe your personal information but are connected to companies and personal interested that provide you the services or is that you were in one way or another associated with or tied into so your personal information can leave those people exposed to Identity thieves and hackers that can use your information to mess them up in last situations it's not even legal to share your account access information like passwords and such and can often carry civil and criminal penalties for giving out such information even if it is your personal information when that information explosives people that you have accounts with to those dabgers as well.
We live in a day and age where your information and my information can be used to hurt other people, and vice versa, as well as be used to hurt us, so sharing your toothbrush or roll toilet paper, that's between you and whoever is sharing it with you, but passwords social security numbers, it's all of our business, because our personal business is tied into it.
To be honest with you if I was in a relationship and she did not know my password and if she felt something was wrong and needed to get into whatever I needed my password to do so then I would give it to her to ease her mind and once she went through everything and everything was cool I would change my password until the next time some things are better left unknown some things are better to each have that little private part of you that is Nobody's Business until they asked for it because they're curious and they want to know something if you have nothing to hide you give it to them it's not a big deal if we are dating we just started dating no I probably wouldn't give her my password because it would have all my life on there that I've done way before I met her and I wouldn't want her to use that against me LOL but if I was married I would delete everything started a new account and she could have the password anytime she wanted
I could see doing it for logistics. Like I'd share my password to all the bills/subscriptions if he asked.
If it's to my personal Facebook account, I'd rather just show them if they ask. It's not a big deal to me. If people want to fuck you over they will snoop around for weeks until they find it anyways. If a serious live in, bill paying partner asked I'd probably just hand it over. If I found out they were posting or spending stuff without my permission, I would be mad and change things.
It wouldn't apply to me because I don't have any social media accounts. And at home, I don't lock my phone... Don't have a partner now, but this was never an issue with my husband because he wasn't on social media either... Other than to surf for porn occasionally he rarely used the computer. If I found myself in a relationship now with someone, I wouldn't demand their passwords, but it would be nice to actually find someone like myself that's not so caught up in social media...

I don’t see why it should be necessary.
Unless trust has already been broken, this shouldn’t be happening.
If you have an electronic device that lets you access works email, or works applications and you give your partner access to your device, you are breaking your works cyber security policy,
There is this thing called Trust in a relationship, also context comes in to play.
Your partner looks at your browsing history on your device, and sees searches for condoms, holidays in the sun.
you are on birth control and you have had your holiday….
what really happened, is your partner was with friends at work and someone asked how much Durex xx were at Superdrug, they got phone out and browsed for the person asking.
later on someone started conversation about holidays, your partner did a quick search and said here I would love to go here on holiday.
each innocent, but when looked by the partner through browsing history, pretty damning.
I don't even have a password on my phone, but I don't use it to access email or social media, either. I don't know if my wife's phone is password protected because I never feel a need to look at it.
My Mac laptop has a password. So does my wife's iPad and laptop.
We trust each other completely and have no interest in spying on each other.
But I think people are entitled to their own privacy. I am generally opposed to the idea of sharing passwords. Nobody needs to know what I do on my devices, not that I have anything in particular to hide. The same with my wife. I wouldn't snoop on her. That would show insecurity and lack of trust. It would be like reading someones personal, private journal. If someone doesn't offer to share, then it's private.
I don't and I wouldn't.
Someone who feels that they need to have your password has some real trust and boundary issues.
While I don't have anything to hide, it just feels really creepy and a definite red flag.
Also, I respect the privacy of others. For example, if you send me a private message, I treat that as a private message. Even if the message is nothing that can't be shared, or even a simple "Have a nice day", it was sent as a private message to me and I will treat it that way. That being said, I don't have an issue with creating a new social media account that we both share.
I do not, if she feels the need to get into my facebook she can request permission.. She also does not have access to my phone for legal reasons. My phone is company property, the act of me giving her access to it, will cost me my job, and result in prison time because of the sensitive company data that is on it.
Seriously if the person you're with demands your passwords, it shows they do not trust you, and are unworthy of your time and energy and are best dumped, so you can find someone else who respects your privacy and can trust you.
I don't share passwords, period. (outside my Disney+)
My girlfriend knows my phone PIN because she is in control of the music, but that's it.
I trust her not to go through and read my private messages, and she has no interest in it anyway.
If I caught her snooping, we'd be having a long chat about it, and she'd better have a damn good reason or else I'd be rethinking the relationship.
If she wants to know something, she can ask.
"What have you got to hide" is also 100% NOT a valid excuse. People still need privacy in a relationship. I know her phone PIN, and I've never once gone through her phone.
I 1000% agree!!
It doesn't seem like a very good thing to do. Everyone has the right to have their own private privacy. even to their soulmates.
it's not about hiding secrets. its about trust. Who's to say they won't send messages/posts in my name? Maybe I'm beeign too untrustworthy by not being confortable enough to share my passwords but I really don't feel well with it.
Alternatively, we could have a common account that we both use. I think that's the best of both worlds.
Aside from GaG (which isn't really social media), I don't use social media except a bit for my business. Nor do I use dating apps. I meet women in person, in the real world.
And, no, I've never given a girl my account info - they've never even asked because they know better. I'm very direct and I make no secrets, but I also don't tolerate inquisitions.
All of us need psychological privacy. Snooping on each other's phones or rummaging through each other's private areas destroy that.
People who think there should be no private matters in a relationship are the same people who think snooping by the government is okay because "innocent" people shouldn't mind.
No that's just asking for trouble and to me that screams "red flag" as the person you're with doesn't trust you. I don't look through my partner's phone. If he's doing something shady it will always come to light. Cheaters always make mistakes in hiding their wrong doings.
I never even thought about it after 7 years of relationship, we use each others phones when we need to, and we don't have a PIN on any of our phones... I think it's a natural instinct to just let them use, we never spied on each other though, that never even crossed our minds...
I think people that suffer from trust issues might ask for codes, and if the partner refuses to they will immediately think that he or she is hiding something... it's an issue if you ask me...
Yes, Life's to short to care and not being open to it is just as much as a trust issue as people feeling their shouldn't be a reason to if thier is trust.
Also obviously you should be in a serious relationship and have built trust between each other.
I also see life as a constant lesson, I have had no issues and if they ever arose it's a chance to communicate and grow.
I’m really big on personal space and trust when it comes to a relationship.
I think it would be fair for us to have each other’s passwords etc, but I definitely don’t advocate to go through each other’s phones. There’s bound to be some privacy nevertheless and I’d hope that we’d trust each other enough so we don’t need to do that. We’d have each other’s passwords just for convenience.
I mean, it isn't like a ceremonial thing. Just for example I once wanted him to check something on my phone and I gave him my password, it's not a big deal. I don't see why I would give my password for social media though... I only use messenger, and messages between me and my friends and family are none of his business as long as he trusts me, and it's honestly a red flag if he suddenly wants to see them. This is also considered a social media I guess, but again, trust.
I question anyone who even hints at asking for such things. I never ask and never will. If they wish me to know they will tell me. If I wish them to know, I will tell them. Never should either expect nor demand it. It is a creepy controlling behavior by the gravely insecure.
I wouldn't suggest sharing passwords because I trust him and don't want him to think otherwise. Neither of us give too much importance to social media anyway.
However if some day for some reason he has to or wants to use my social media account, he's most welcome to. That being said, if there's some underlying insecurity behind him wanting to using my social media, I would want to address that
its not a "should do" type of thing, its a personal choice. i have shared such with one ex but not others and even that was limited from both of us. most of what we shared passwords on were some social media sites and online games (we met in an online game and were engaged eventually too) . there is nothing wrong with keeping some things private even from your partner. i find it helps keep a little indiduality.
Personal privacy is the way to go but I feel if asked by your partner there shouldn't be an issue giving that information to them. Trust plays a major part in all relationships. The couple have to be able to trust that the other is doing the right thing and will not have a reason not to give the password if asked unless it's given upfront and willingly before being asked.
If you aren't asked then you don't share..
I HAVE NO SECRETS from MY Partner...
having 'hand fasted' rather than merely Wed-ding
She KNOWS what She's gotten and gotten into and a pre-nup
defines specifically, what happens should things "go South"~
Both my husband and I have each other's passwords, neither of us have anything to hide.
However, since I have now been working from home I have a very high security modem installed to which he obviously has no access to.
I wouldn't really care but... if you can't even trust your partner enough to have privacy on their own phone then why are you even dating them? If you feel like you need all your partner's passwords then maybe you shouldn't be dating in the first place. Nothing wrong with psychological privacy.
What for? I trusted my wife and vice versa.
If she ever asked, I'd be puzzled, but I suppose I would give it to her. Frankly, the only thing reading my social media would do is perhaps put her to sleep.
Never do that. There are things you shouldn't share with *anyone*. First, you should keep yourself some privacy. Second, what if you break up and he's a complete dickhead? He might do some pretty bad damage. Big no no.
Personally it doesn't matter to me, mine knows all of my passwords, she is welcome to log in anytime she wants, she uses my phone and it doesn't bother me. I think personal privacy is also a big thing too. We dont go snooping through each other's phones but a mutual respect and trust is the way to go
I don't mind he has mine. I got nothing to hide and it's not like he distrust me and is looking to see if I'm doing something wrong.
I have his too. But I don't look through his either.
My opinion is that we Are Entitled to Our Own Personal Privacy. Bottom line you Need to have trust and faith in each other to have a Lasting relationship. Without trust it won't work. You didn't have the passwords when u first met... why do u need them now? If you trust your partner?
No way. But that doesn't mean i don't trust her. It's just a stupid and irresponsible thing to do. It's basic cyber security..
I can show her my social media if she wants, but i won't give her passwords to my accounts to mess around in them.
Should? No. I don't see a reason for it. To each their own, I suppose. If this is about trust and somehow sharing accounts & passwords is supposed to show trust, then in the same sense, letting the other keep some privacy is also a sign of trust.
Inappropriate. I wouldn’t date someone who asked. It’s a sign that we have serious differences about relationships.
Depends. My current partner has them written down for most everything except my email and my work laptop
That is one thing i would never do no matter how love craze id be. My privacy must remain mine no matter what
I share it with my husband cause I have nothing to hide I want him to feel as comfortable as possible just like how he shares his passwords with me
I think that isn't necessary. Being in a relationship does not mean we are the same person or we need no privacy. I see someone who wants this as having major trust issues.
"Partner"? You mean the guy you lift weights with? Play golf with?
Or your HUSBAND?
There's actually a difference. Share with a SPOUSE - everybody else just isn't.
I don't see any reason why anyone else but me should have any of my passwords. It seems like an unnecessary security risk.
Can I ask you a question
I have no issue with it. If she wants to see my social media, then she's free to.
In my last relationship, we trusted each other blindly.
I have all my passwords on a document and my wife knows where it is. I cannot believe how many I have too and I make it a point to have a small footprint on the internet.
@exitseven
I recommend using a password manager.
Why should we share ours? Sounds like severe trust issues.
I'm just a very private person and I wouldn't feel comfortable with that. If she insists on looking at my email account then I'll only do it if I get to look at hers too.
Social media... i dnt know. Girls are weird. What if she opens my WhatsApp and abuses any females contact there. I mean she’s trying to make a point that she’s the only woman that matters in your life 😳
I have nothing to hide, I don't mind if she knows how to unlock my phone... who knows, maybe one day she will need that (emergency cases). But even if I have accesses to her phone, I won't check out her accounts because I trust her.
Nope, and they don't get to share theirs with me either. I prefer it this way, because I respect everyone's right to privacy being in IT myself.
Never going to happen. You get to trust, or you can fuck right off out the door.
Eh... I give her my passcode to my phone. But there’s no reason to give her passcodes to social media etc.
I've got no issue with it.. he's actually got a better memory than me
I used if I’m in a serious relationship with em then I can.
though stuff like my financials are still gonna private and protected.
No that's private and personal. She aren't getting mine and I won't request hers.
Well social media is my private area, but i would share my password with her, if it was something like netflix.
Im not okay with this, only because if things turn sideways im going to be SOL
yes my husband and I know each others passwords and pin numbers, why be married otherwise
I don't understand this concept. Why would you want to share your password. Can't people have relationships without it?
I've never asked and never was asked for mine.
I have worked in cyber security and to that I say fuck that. No one but you can handle that kind of power over your own account.
So he can take revenge later when we breakup by hacking my account and posting silly stuff on it? No thanks lol.
Nahh there is this thing called trust that I believe in.
never do this somtimes its better to keep some things secret like he does
Nope... there's got to be some privacy and some limits.
what's the point of being with someone you don't even trus, if they cheated however and they want to change that's a different story..
nah fuck that
once a cheater ALWAYS a cheater
I would be against it, i wouldn't want theirs either, not because i have anything to hide i just don't like the idea of it.
No way. No one but me gets to know my passwords. Unless its like to share a stream account lol.
Yeah like Netflix, hulu 😂
We know each other's critical ones as a safety precaution.
