Do you know your husband's passcode?

Just that, how many of you know your husbands/partners passcode for their phone?

Yes. He’s always astounded if I unlock it in the car etc. I remind him that he changed the fire stick PIN code to his pass code some time ago so I sort of have to remember it…

Goodlard · 28/12/2023 00:08

@RJnomore1 or some numerical version of paradise?

MrsDrDear · 28/12/2023 00:08

Yes it's same as mine and the TV pin so we only have one number to remember.

TheChosenTwo · 28/12/2023 00:04

We both know each others.

IWishIWasABaller · 28/12/2023 00:03

Yes we have the same one

blorm · 28/12/2023 00:03

Yes

Wellhellooooodear · 28/12/2023 00:03

Yes but only because I've needed to borrow his phone a few times. I've no interest in looking at stuff.

LBOCS2 · 28/12/2023 00:03

Yes, and he knows mine. He knows my passwords for everything too, and has told me his but I did not dedicate any brain space to remembering them and therefore have to ask him again every time he wants me to look something up for him. He finds this annoying.

Jumpingthruhoops · 28/12/2023 00:02

I do. And he knows mine. I struggle to understand why anyone wouldn't.

jackstini · 28/12/2023 00:02

Yes - same as mine

MidnightMeltdown · 28/12/2023 00:00

@Deathbyfluffy

Each to their own, but I wouldn't like someone going through my personal messages. Judging by the number of threads I see on here where women have discovered something that they don't like by going through their partners phone, I think it's a pretty common thing to do, but it's not something that I would be willing to tolerate.

1967 ☘️?

or 1888 or possibly Henrik larrsons birthday 😂 still think he loves me slightly more than henke but it will be close!

LaughingCat · 28/12/2023 00:00

We’re the other way around - I forget his passcode every time I need to borrow his phone and he gets so frustrated at having to remind me! 😂. I’m trying to think now and nope, it’s gone again - he only reminded me this morning as well! He knows mine too. We have each other on FindMy as well. Got nothing to hide.

Though he did see some nude pics of me on my phone last week when he was looking for photos of tiles I’d taken, to show the bathroom suppliers. He was properly quiet and abrupt with me for three days while I tried to work out what was wrong. Finally all spilled out when he quizzed me really intensely about who I was talking and sending photos to, in a seriously accusing tone. I brought up our text conversation and scrolled back to when I’d sent them to him, in July. Just goes to show, even with complete openness and a high degree of trust, a short memory can still cause suspicion 😂

GLC789 · 27/12/2023 23:58

Yes, we know each others as we will ask one and other to look a text etc if the other is driving something. Well, a slight white lie actually, my husband needs reminding of mine every time I need him to look at my phone 😂😂. But you get the gist.

Never felt the need to ask for it with the purpose of looking at his phone though, and vice versa.

LangMayYerLumReek2024 · 27/12/2023 23:57

Yes we know each others. Same with pins and other passwords.

Goodlard · 27/12/2023 23:57

@MidnightMeltdown assuming you don't want to contact someone in his contact list.....

I suppose some of us are in good trusting relationships and some not!

Sad really.

MidnightMeltdown · 27/12/2023 23:55

Goodlard · 27/12/2023 23:47

@MidnightMeltdown surely you realise that's only to a nominated single contact or 999?

Rather than multiple contacts in an emergency?

Yes of course. Assuming that if it's that much of an emergency that you can't reach for your own phone, it would be because you're dialling 999!

PickAChew · 27/12/2023 23:55

No and he doesn't know mine apart from the different one I use on my laptop. I also have loads of passwords on a memory stick in case the worst happens.

I'm stuffed for dealing with the leccy and broadband if anything happens to him, though.

Sometimeswinning · 27/12/2023 23:55

bozzabollix · 27/12/2023 22:43

Yeah course. It’s the same as mine.

same here!

Gingerbee · 27/12/2023 23:54

Yes it is the year we met

PillowRest · 27/12/2023 23:53

Yes, and my parents.
Mostly for the morbid reason that if anything happens we'd all be able to access photos on eachothers phones rather than them being lost.

Deathbyfluffy · 27/12/2023 23:53

MidnightMeltdown · 27/12/2023 23:43

Surely most phones allow you to make emergency calls without a passcode?

I wouldn't like anyone to have my passcode.

Surely if you trust a partner and you’ve got nothing to hide it’s a non-issue?

Ambi · 27/12/2023 23:53

No and he doesn't know mine as mine is a work phone with confidential information on it.

Deathbyfluffy · 27/12/2023 23:51

veeolay · 27/12/2023 22:52

No. He doesn't know mine either. No need to 🤷‍♀️

Handy to be able to quickly Google something if your phone isn’t in easy reach if nothing else :)

ClottedCreamScone · 27/12/2023 23:50

I do. When they had fingerprint unlocking he made one of the options my thumb too. I use his phone all the time and he uses mine.
