Do you know your husband's passcode?

[hitmewithyourbestshot21]

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

Yeah and he knows mine. His phone is old enough to be opened by finger print so I added my finger print too.

Nope, neither of us do.

a) we use them for work, so inappropriate for others to have access.

b) if you feel the need to snoop, there is no trust there and you're in a low quality relationship.

Keeps it simple.

Yes and he knows mine.

Yes, I just happened to say one day what I made me chose mine, and he said the same. We don't go through eachother's phones but have no problem checking who has texted eachother if we are out of the room and what to tell the other who's contacted them.

Yes- we use the same passcode.

I also know my best friends and she knows mine- my kids and nieces and nephews all know them too.

I never look at my wife’s phone- it’s boring!

Same here

Yes, and he knows mine

How is it ‘virtue signalling’ when the only time it’s come up is on this thread. Where it’s anonymous?

Clearly, going by this thread, it’s most normal to know each other’s passcode, but not go through each other’s phone.

The OP didn’t ask about snooping. She asked whether people knew their partner’s passcode.

And as this bread has shown, most people know their partner’s passcode, but don’t go through their phone.

This is the hallmark of a healthy relationship - openness, trust and respect.

Yeah, but would only use for map navigation/Spotify when we're driving.

Nope. He doesn't know mine either. I don't open his mail either.

Yes we both know each other’s passcode. I also know my teens codes as well, and they know mine. Nothing to hide here!

Yes, its the same as his and he and i don't have any issue with eah other using the others phone. Generally we grab whichever is closest when we're at home/out to search for things, ring someone etc.

Yes - we know each others phone passcode. We also know each others passwords to access bank accounts, savings investments, pensions - no secrets

Yes and he knows mine. But we do not use each others phones.

Yes and he knows mine. We never look at each others phones as a rule but sometimes if one of us is driving for example, we’ll ask the other to check something or message someone.

Yes but I keep forgetting it. It's not that important to me but every time I need to do something on his phone I have to check the passcode again. Usually I'm doing some Tech thing to help him recover an account or sort out his Apple wallet, that kind of thing.

I used to work for a mobile phone provider and had a staff discount which I used for his phone. After about 3 years he casually asked me one day if I could read his texts or see which websites he was on. Absolutely not! But it was a bit weird and cute that he'd assumed I could. Then he asked me to unblock porn for him, I didn't even know it was blocked. I'm not bothered at all by porn and he knows that, no issues there.

No never asked

I know the passcode as sometimes if my battery is gone or the kids are watching videos on his phone I might need it. I have his pin as sometimes maybe I’d go to the bar or pay up when he went to the loo but tbh nowadays it’s all contactless anyway.

if you live together it gets a bit awkward if there are locks/blocks on what is essentially a tool

Yes. We quite often use each other’s phones interchangeably depending on which one is nearest.

No. He has told me previously- like when he is driving and needs me to send a message on his behalf, but I have forgotten. Likewise I have told him mine and he has forgotten.

I have no need to snoop through his phone and I doubt he wants to snoop through mine either. People have a right to privacy.

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

As I said, he gave it to me when we knew he had a terminal diagnosis and in the end it was good that he did, it meant he could continue to use his phone after the stroke robbed him of a fair bit of him. He would never have managed a new phone by that point and me having his code meant I was able to leave it unlocked for him to scroll thorough photos and use it for his music. In the two years I have known his code I have never looked at his messages. Not once. He's been dead for 20 months and I still respect his privacy.

We don't have a problem with opening each others post unless it is something obviously personal.

He's told me so many times and I just keep forgetting it 🤣

Yep. He has been told mine but I bet he doesn't remember.
