Do you know your husband's passcode?

[hitmewithyourbestshot21]

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

yes and he knows mine but we never look thru each others phones. I also know his personal email passwords, laptop passcode, banking app passcode and bank card PIN number. I’m pretty sure he knows mine too. We’ve shared these when doing admin stuff for each other

If someone dies you are not supposed to access their bank accounts and use their passwords. If you have an iPhone you are meant to set up a legacy contact access for after your death with Apple so the named person can access your phone if you want them to

Yes I have his passcode and he theoretically has mine but he keeps forgetting what it is. We only use each other’s phones when driving so we can answer texts for each other, and for emergencies. I did use his phone to monitor for incoming texts and calls when he was in ICU some years ago as well.

We don’t snoop, and respect each other’s privacy. I don’t think that’s weird or virtue signalling.

In the days before mobile phones I didn’t read people’s diaries, and I have not read the pile of letters between DH and his ex (from before they were married, pre-mobile phone) that he has in a box that he almost certainly has forgotten exists.

Yes of course.

We both have the same passcode. We also know each other's passcode for laptops

No, well, he probably told me at some point when he needed me to reply to something on his phone while driving but I don't remember it.

Yes, us and our teen use the same one. We know passwords too and use the same ones here and there.

Yep, and his passwords and banking log in. He’d know mind if he wasn’t shit at remembering them, 9 years in and he’s finally got my phone passcode 😂.

Neither of us have anything to hide here!

People that know passwords are they words or computer generated ones written down as that doesn't sound very secure, I wouldn't be able to tell DH my passwords without writing them down as they are just a mishmash of letters, numbers and symbols.

Yes

No. We have no interest in each other’s phones.

Yes. We both have the same one!

Yeah and he knows mine. My kids know mine if they need my phone briefly.

Yes.
If we are on long drives I use his phone for YouTube or podcasts.
If I'm in the same room as his phone and he isn't I'll answer and likewise for him.

Nope. No interest. We don’t track each other either that so many people seem to do!

He doesn't have one.

He may know mine, the kids do though, and he could probably have a very good guess as to what it is.

Yes I have Face ID set up also lol

Yes and vice versa, but we'd only use if needed eg he's driving in my car (his speaks to his phone, reads texts and replies etc on voice command)

Yeah I do but only for silly things like sorting a playlist out when he is driving or something like that. He knows mine as well. I've never snooped though.

Yes, we use each other's phones when convenient. Sometimes you don't have yours on you. We don't go looking through everything but we're not hiding anything either.

Yes I do but only cause I sometimes want to access photos he’s taken or use his hotspot, I don’t feel the need to look at his messages or anything. I take the fact he is so open with it as a positive given my history!

In my previous marriage I didn’t know and he was quite cagey. One day he gave me his old phone as he had upgraded. He didn’t realise it would still be logged into his Facebook. I totally didn’t realise it was his account and was surprised to see lots of new messages in messenger so opened…discovered he had been having an affair for over a year.

@GordoStevensMustache it does not show a lack of trust at all!

I'd argue that someone can be trusted more if they have the opportunity to do something like snoop and they don't.

This. I know my bloke’s pass code and would never look at his phone.

”don't believe that these posters NEVER look. Why do you have his passcode anyway? What do you need it for?”

Posters throughout the thread have given many examples of why they may need it.
