Do you and your SO share passwords to Facebook, MySpace, email accounts and/or cell phone voice mail passwords? If so, why or why not? Just curious.
No we don't. not that we have anything to hide. Just that we both like having some things to ourselves.
We don't share passwords. We trust each other and don't have anything to hide or any reason to snoop.
No, because there is no real need to share. I don't want to read his email. We are both fairly independent (personality wise) and like some privacy/personal space. Works for us so far.
No...I don't think we ever even thought about it either. I wouldn't give him my passwords even if he asked b/c some things are mine and mine alone and that would be an invasion of my privacy...just like it would be if I asked for his.
On the flip side....I have the passcodes to some of his accounts and vice versa simply b/c we have covered bills for each other before. I have never logged in though unless specifically asked to by him.
EDIT: Clarification...we do NOT share passwords for e-mail, FB, etc. but DO share passwords for credit card accounts, bill accounts...things like that.
We know each others' passwords for most things, just because I"ve asked him to check my email for something, or vice versa. I don't care that he knows my passwords to everything, I have nothing to hide and I don't feel like having my email password hidden gives me a greater sense of independence. But neither of us has ever logged into the other's account without being asked to do so by that person.
Yes we do-but basically because we use the same passwords for most things and we both need to access them, or sometimes he'll ask me to access something for him and visa versa. :)
We share every password for everything, even something as trivial as my Qdoba account. We've never privatized our lives from each other. We have shared a computer, an e-mail account, a phone, etc. We trust each other implicitly and have since day one (literally). I know we are not the norm though, so I understand those who wouldn't do that.
We don't share unless we need to and I would find it strange if he wanted the password to my email or facebook since there is no need for him to know it. I knew the password to my ex's email and it was not a healthy thing (due to the nature of the relationship but I think the fact I had it and used it said a lot about the relationship :))
im with @hilsy85 i dont have anything to hide and i feel inappropriate to keep that so private... we know each other passwords but we dont go to the other person account without permission and if he did i wouldnt mind because as i said before... i dont have anything to hide from him... but thats just me
no, we both don't intentionally share our passwords for anything... however, he does know mine because i use the same password for alot of things (i know bad, right) and he guessed my gmail password..which was correct! so i guess if he wanted he could log into my facebook account. :)
Eh. I guess. We both have a password that we use for everything and we just happen to know what they are. We didn't intentionally tell the other one. I can say that the only time I have ever used his password was when this crazy stalker hacked into his facebook while he was in basic training. I used it to change it so that she couldn't get into it anymore.
No but only because we trust each other so I don't think there's a need. I have nothing to hide from him and I don't have any fears that he's hiding anything as well....
Yes, for most things. But it's been over time, when we've asked the other to look something up and just happened naturally. I wouldn't log on his email without him knowing!
Yes, we do. Mostly, it is out of convenience. Either, I have set up most of the accounts or we just forget if they aren't the same. We have never checked into each other's accounts just to look around or anything.
But, I did have an ex that was super secretive about his passwords. He did turn out to be talking to someone and didn't want me to see. But, he and I both knew that relationship was over, and it just gave me the push to leave.
I guess my point is, if he's super weird about you knowing, maybe something is up, but chances are, its just nice to have things to yourself.
Yes and no. As a security admin, my SO is careful about that stuff and I am as well. We have multiple passwords for our different accounts, share the ones that are low priority (aka audible), make up temporary ones where money is involved (he bought a domain name for me, and I created a temporary password when he needed to make some updates later on), and keep other passwords completely private.
We can't access each other's mail or personal accounts, though. I don't open his mail at home, why would I online?
I don't know if it would be called sharing, but we do know each others passwords for everything. We don't go into each others acccounts though, but if the need should ever arise, we would know how to get in.
for some things. i don't know his, but i had a virus on my facebook (there were all sorts of dirty messages popping up everywhere) so my fi was helping me with my computer and helped me think of a new password. i'm not too worried about it. if i was, i could always change it.
i do still know my ex's password for everything it happens to be my name along with other personal info of mine. i check every.... 6ish months kind of wondering if he'll ever change it/get over me. he hasn't. i hope he's just lazy.
Yeah, we know all of each others passwords, but we don't use them unless it's necessary. Plus, we've adapted each others passwords for different things. Before he came along though, I don't think I had ever shared my password.
We don't share passwords per se, but we also have our own laptops where we stay logged in (to email, fb, etc) so it's not like if we didn't want to see each other's stuff we wouldn't.
i've told him my passwords and vice versa for whatever when we're like "Oh hey go look at my email and tell me x." But we've never like.. sat down and exchanged. :)
Nope, because there would be no point in sharing, we both have iPhones so we can check things ourselves on the go, and we trust each other completely, so I have no need to go and snoop through his email and such ...
@corgitales and I are in the same boat...
we have shared for "hey, can you check this for me..." etc and we use the same kind of passwords for a lot of joint stuff, but never did we sit down and share them with eachother all at once
We do, but not necessarily on purpose. Like others have mentioned it's more like "hey, can you check this for me?" and then you need the password to check it. It's not like we use them to check up on each other or anything.
@Mountainbride- I like that you said it that way. That says a lot about your growth as an individual and as a person in a *healthy* relationship. I mostly like it because I was in a situation much like your own and I feel the same way about knowing his password. It said a lot about our relationship...and that wasn't much. :) NOW is a different story, no need for password sharing here, we have nothing but total trust in one another, and I don't think it's necessary.
We password share, just because we both use the same password for every acct we have... and sometimes we'll get stuff for both of us in the emails, or I'll register him if he's not able to for classes so he doesn't miss out, and we even share accts like our bank acct so online access to that is shared. But as far as like checking up on each other...ummm..NO!
Absolutely not. We both respect each other enough to give one another some privacy.
I'm yes and no on this one.
We both know the passwords we have common interest in for practicality's sake, but not really for facebook/email etc. However, we've both had situations where we've called home and asked the other to check for an important email or something (CRAZY firewalls at work make this impossible), so I guess if either of us cared enough to remember the passwords, we would know eachother's.
We both know each others passwords, more so that we can check each other's mail for the other person. But FH knows my password to get onto Facebook, not that he ever uses it.
It wasn't really intentional, but we both use the same 2 or 3 passwords for everything, and since we have some joint accts ect, it just kinda ended up that we know each others PWs for everything.
Of course, I constantly have to remind FI that knows all mine when he tried to log into our Knot page or our registry, so the odds of him checking my email (or even realizing that he could...) are pretty slim=)
We don't share passwords. In part because I see no reason to, and mostly because I wouldn't be able to remember both his and mine anyway.
not intentionally--like others said, we each use the same few passwords for most things, and we've shared them over the years in a "hey, will you check this for me?" sort of way. it's just not a big deal to us.
eh... I'm not that interested in having his password. Like, I've never needed to access his stuff, it is HIS stuff afterall! I gave him my Facebook password to respond to a message from someone (it was urgent) since I was at work and couldn't access FB. I didn't think twice about emailing him the password and my message I needed him to send to someone. But, I would never be like "Here's all my passwords, memorize them so we can share EVERYTHING!"
No we don't share passwords I don't feel we need to. I trust him and vice versa and it's a matter of privacy I respect his and he respects mine.
We don't share passwords, we have complete privacy on our own computers, which I kind of like. Anything online is our own personal realm, it just evolved that way for us and is like an unofficial rule. There always seems to be some present we're getting for each other and we do a lot of online shopping so I wouldn't want him to be able to see emails relating to that either. I did get him to log into my uni email recently to check something for me though.
Nope. Why does he need them? Why do I need his? We are still entitled to privacy/personal things in our marriage.
But I've had him call to, say, pull up a travelocity itineray. So if there is a valid reason, i'll give him my password. He has no need to ever check my email though. I just don't know why he would!
We don't. I keep trying to share, but he doesn't want me to! He says it's something for me to keep for myself, which is awesome.
