Do you know your DP's phone passcode?

I see threads all the time with locked up phones and people wanting to snoop but can't due to password changes/never knowing it etc. Do you know your DP's password? I know DH's and he knows mine. We don't snoop (to my knowledge) but I'm always able to get in if I wanted to, same for him. I thought this was normal?

Is it not the done thing? Do you know your partners passcode? I'd be very suspicious if he changed his without telling me/if I'd done the same he would be suspicious.

I know it. I never snoop, but i use his phone if it is closer than mine. He also know my password.

BuffaloCauliflower · 11/06/2019 07:43

He knows mine because it’s my birthday. He’s told me his plenty of time but my brain just won’t seem to store that information. I have literally no reason to look in his phone ever though, as I have my own. I do know his laptop password as I use it sometimes.

aPengTing · 11/06/2019 07:44

No and he doesn’t know mine. We both like our privacy.

Jinglejanglefish · 11/06/2019 07:45

Yes. I have no interest in snooping, I imagine it would be super boring!

bluebluezoo · 11/06/2019 07:46

I know his as I’m the IT department in this house. I do all the upgrades, sort glitches, make sure they back up etc.

He doesn’t know mine. I’d rather he didn’t find out about my mumsnet habit! Anything else I don’t care.

Sexnotgender · 11/06/2019 07:46

Yes, and he knows mine. I don’t snoop, he doesn’t snoop. We trust each other.

It's possible to have privacy AND know your partners passcode.

lunar1 · 11/06/2019 07:48

Yes, but I we've never really looked at each others phone. We'd answer if one of us was in the shower or might shout for the other to read out a text if doing the dishes etc.

The level of secrecy some people have over their phones with a partner surprises me.

ShanghaiDiva · 11/06/2019 07:49

I don't but dd does. He knows mine.
I don't look at his phone - three billion emails from work - not interested thanks.

Kedgeree · 11/06/2019 07:49

Exactly this Grin.

Pinkyyy · 11/06/2019 07:49

Yes I know his, and he knows mine too. If he was unwilling to let me on his phone I would have to question why.

nothingtowearever · 11/06/2019 07:49

Yeah we have the same pin as we kept forgetting it

tisonlymeagain · 11/06/2019 07:49

Yes I do but I rarely use it. He doesn't know mine I don't think, he's never asked.

NotSoThinLizzy · 11/06/2019 07:49

We know each others well have our finger prints to unlock each others coz it's easier when using each others phones for whatever ever reason. No snooping to my knowledge have nothing to hide

NotMeNoNo · 11/06/2019 07:50

Yes because he's bad at remembering passcodes so I try to keep a record. Also it's been the same since his first phone!
I'm sure he doesnt know mine but I'd tell him if he needed it.

Hithere12 · 11/06/2019 07:51

No. He doesn’t know mine either 🤷‍♀️

SunnySomer · 11/06/2019 07:52

No. But it’s a work phone and they’re not allowed to share their passwords. I have no desire to snoop and don’t believe he’d snoop on mine either.

MrsDilligaf · 11/06/2019 07:52

He doesn't have one. I have a pattern to unlock mine but only due to having it at work.

There's nothing remotely interesting on either of our phones.

Although I will confess that I have snuck a peek at his Words with Friends tiles on more than one occasion

EskewedBeef · 11/06/2019 07:52

Yes, it's the same as mine.

jackstini · 11/06/2019 07:54

Yes we both know each other's

WeShouldOpenABar · 11/06/2019 07:54

He tells me it and it goes right back out of my head once I've used it, he knows mine cos its the alarm code. We both have finger print scanners tho and have registered to each others. We don't snoop it's just if someone's phone is closer or my battery is gone or whatever

Littlechocola · 11/06/2019 07:54

Yes, both know each other’s. Nothing to hide, nothing I want to see.

stucknoue · 11/06/2019 07:55

Yes, but I won't snoop even though he wants to separate. I changed mine though.

HotChocolateLover · 11/06/2019 07:55

I can open it with my thumbprint and vice versa. Also know each other’s passcodes as there’s nothing to hide 😂

Tingface · 11/06/2019 07:55

Yes. Hardly ever use it but we both know each other’s.
