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

Yep

Bloom15 · 27/12/2023 23:27

Yes and he knows mine

Woahyeahyeahyeah · 27/12/2023 23:27

Yes - as he does mine!

Ohthatsfabulousdarling · 27/12/2023 23:28

Yes, it's the same as mine.
I know all of his passwords, as does he all of mine.
Our lives and finances are interwined so we know all of each others sign in details.

Intact my name and our anniversary are most of his, or our kids names and DOBs

RufustheFactualReindeer · 27/12/2023 23:28

dhs is our wedding anniversary (and my birthday)

so fairly hard for me NOT to know it 😀

FluffyDiplodocus · 27/12/2023 23:29

Yep. He had to change it recently as he uses it for work and needed an 8 digit code, he messaged me the new one before I even noticed he’d changed it, so I had it just in case. He knows mine too.

bloatedbobby · 27/12/2023 23:29

@RufustheFactualReindeer yes, I always remember a friend having a nightmare yrs ago when her boyfriend was seriously ill in hospital & things would have been much easier if she could access his phone.

FinallyHere · 27/12/2023 23:29

Yeah. I do tech support for him.

I've told him mine, and what it's based on to help him remember. I doubt very much he remembers mine.

Catsknowbest · 27/12/2023 23:29

Yes absolutely

Notallmilsarebad · 27/12/2023 23:29

Yes, we both know each others. And often read each other’s messages. I’m in girls chats and he’s in guys chats but all part of a wider social group so sometimes we just like to see what people have been chatting about in the groups were not in

Themostimportantpartis · 27/12/2023 23:29

Yes

TeenLifeMum · 27/12/2023 23:30

He has told me multiple times but I never remember. Only use it when my phone has died and I want to Google something or if I have the banking app open and need a calculator on a separate device to work out some maths. I just have to ask and he tells me. He knows mine but he has a photographic memory.

teenagetantrums · 27/12/2023 23:30

Yep l know, l don't think DP would remember mine but it's not a secret.

LostMySocks · 27/12/2023 23:31

Yes. We both use each others phones for calls depending on who has forgotten to charge theirs. Usually ask first though.

Pollywoddles · 27/12/2023 23:31

I do and also my face will unlock his phone but I never look at it. I’d only ever use it if I needed to make an urgent call or look something up quickly and his was closer or mine was dead.

zeibesaffron · 27/12/2023 23:32

Yes we have the same passcode for the phone/ bankcards etc

Rattenbury · 27/12/2023 23:32

Yes.

firsttimemum1212 · 27/12/2023 23:32

Yes and he has mine. I also know the passwords to absolutely everything of his and he mine, but I bet you he doesn’t remember it

OneTC · 27/12/2023 23:33

We both use the same pattern

ThreeTreeHill · 27/12/2023 23:33

RufustheFactualReindeer · 27/12/2023 23:22

I do think its weird that a few posters on here seem to think the only reason we would know our partners passcodes is because we don’t trust them and want to keep an eye on them

i guess its projection

Yes. The reason Dh has my pass code is because I trust him? I wouldn't even consider not telling him. He also very openly messages in front of me and me him. I wouldn't really consider snooping because firstly I don't particularly need to read the shit he sends his friends, he mostly tells me and also I respect him. I don't need a pass code to stop him reading my messages

DahliaMacNamara · 27/12/2023 23:34

He doesn't have a passcode. There's fuck all on his phone, disappointingly, because I'm a nosy bastard and far more interested in looking at his phone than he is. There's only work stuff, call history (99% me) and unread text messages, because he never thinks to look at them.
I would hate him to look at mine, but I doubt he could read it, even with his glasses on. My passcode isn't guessable from personal data.

AnnieSnap · 27/12/2023 23:34

Yes and he knows mine. It came about on occasions where one of us was up to their eyes in something and asked the other to check something on their phone/ipad. It’s happened a few times, so we remember them. It’s a non-issue for us, but I can see how it isn’t always in relationships.

ArchetypalBusyMum · 27/12/2023 23:35

Course, I rarely use it except when my phone is flat and I need to Google something but it's good to have in case of emergency. Once he left his phone at home and needed a detail from a message.
That's the sort of stuff your life partner would do for you and the passcode is needed for.

He knows mine too, same deal.

OneTC · 27/12/2023 23:35

Yeah I'd never actually look at OH's phone it just seems sensible that either of us would be able to use each others phones in an emergency

mamaison · 27/12/2023 23:36

Yes everyone in my house knows everyone’s passcodes. We all use each others’ devices briefly for convenience sometimes.

As PP mentioned, it’s to protect against theft- not hide things from your loved ones.

I use private browsing for things like Christmas present buying etc for this reason.
