Do you know your DP's phone passcode?

[livin]

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 do but I can never remember it. He has never asked for mine but I would be happy for him to have it which is a big thing for me as my ex didn't trust me and regularly kept an eye on everything that I did on my phone (and in life).

I know his and vice verse. The kids know ours too -so they can play games on them
We can also access each other's phone using the thumb print

I know it, we have the same code and it's the code for our computer too. We don't snoop on each other's phones at all, mainly just have passcodes so the phone is locked if anyone ever tries to steal it, and to stop the kids being able to get on without permission.

Yes we know each others codes, we also leave our social media/email accounts lodged in on the computer too, so I could access it easily if I wanted too.
I haven't got anything to hide so don't see the point in been secretive.
My Ex wouldn't let me anywhere near his phone, was always locked and kept on him. I once picked it up to see the time (after he asked me what time it was first thing in the morning) and he lost it, was obvious what he was up to!

No - and he doesn’t have mine. I’m very surprised at all the PPs saying they do and am clearly in the minority here - quite an education. There’s never any reason for us to look at each other’s phones : if it rings when the owner isn’t not there, they can call back themselves if it is important. I use my iPad for things like browsing,emails, iMessage and social media when I am in the house - that doesn’t have a passcode set but I trust everyone not to use it.

I told DP mine pretty early on, think I needed him to use my phone whilst I was cooking or something. Have since told him it several times when I’ve needed him to unlock my phone to use it for me but he never remembers it so clearly no interest in snooping! He has one of those phones that you connect the dots on to unlock and he never told me the pattern specifically but I saw him unlock it a few times and remembered it and when I told him that he wasn’t fussed and has never changed it.

He doesn't have one, he doesn't know what mine is.

His iPad code is his birthdate and I know that. Think his phone used to be, but it’s been several years and upgrades since I’ve last used it for any reason and think it’s gone up to 6 digits now so don’t know if it’s changed. I’ve told him mine occasionally when it’s logged out while he’s been looking at something, but given that he’s asked every time I don’t think he’s ever bothered to remember it.

I just don’t see why it’s necessary to know though. Our use of each other’s phones is usually passing it across to the other one to read an article/look at a holiday deal etc, or “can I use it to phone myself, don’t know what I did with my phone”. Each of those things the other person is around for to put a code in or say what it is. The only reason it’s handy for me to remember his iPad code is that he doesn’t always leave it on silent when I’m trying to sleep on night shifts. If I didn’t remember it, I’d just turn it off.

I know his passcode, and I don't have one on my phone. As pp said, we use each other's phones if more to hand.

Our phones have patterns to unlock, we know each others but I'd never look at his phone without his agreement. He would never snoop through my phone either

DH has his own computer and I have mine. Once you use the password to get in, everything is logged in on both. The iPad is the same passcode as my phone so he can log in there too. He doesn't because he hates Apple products but if he's on the sofa and needs something he'll often grab my MacBook to Google something (to shouts of me warning him to not close any tabs).

It's not that we don't trust each other not to snoop. More like we're so bloody boring and it's all work related stuff/boring conversations with our best friends/MN and none of that stuff we need or want to hide. We still have privacy because we respect each other enough not to snoop.

I will say i don't understand the idea of "if you dont have anything to hide then its no problem" i have nothing to hide from anyone, doesn't mean they need to know every little detail about me.

I know my DP's because if is our sons birthday and he knows mine because it's our anniversary. I have never looked through his phone but if we're say out and I want to take a picture and I grab his out of bag first I'll use his to take picture or if mine is on charge and I wasn't to google something or use calculator or something I'll use his

Yes, we've known each other's for years, since quite early on in the relationship actually.
We actually know each other's phone passcodes, laptop passwords, I know his iPad passcode. For no reason other than we have no problem with each other knowing, and would happily use each other's phone or laptop if necessary.
We also know each other's passwords to websites (social media and things like that). Also we know each other's bank card pins and online banking information. Again we use each other's cards if necessary.
I don't see the problem or why someone wouldn't be happy for their partner to know such things (especially a married couple).

I know his but have & would never snoop. He can never remember mine. I’ve offered to do the thumb print thing for him on my phone but he doesn’t see the point.

We both have thumbprints set up on each other's phones to get in if we need to. We rarely need to.

I don’t get it either.

I know his (because he uses the same password for 99% of things) and I recently just put his finger print I'd thing on mine as well as its drives me bonkers when he asks me to Google something because he has left his phone in another room or let it run out of battery etc - I'm like do it yourself! The only thing I don't like him going in is my handbag - it's probably because my own DM's handbag was totally off limits growing up and it is some how seems weirdly personal for someone to look in there! There is nothing remotely I interesting or embarrassing in it either! And absolutely no trust issues for either of us

Yes, he knows mine and I know his. We sometimes use each other's phones, or he might ask me to text someone on his if he's driving. I do sometimes have a quick look what he's surfed, just out of idle curiosity to see what he's interested in, not because I suspect him of anything. It's all sport and Grand Prix stuff...yawn! We also know the passwords to each other's iPads.

I know it as it's he same as the iPad but I never use his phone as I have my own.

Yea we have same pass code and we share the Google log in for phone set up. Share email address also.
Share money. Pretty much everything is open between us

We know each other's passwords but we don't snoop. I will go on it to ring my phone if I can't find it (which is all the time!) or send myself a pic of the kids which I know he has taken, stuff like that and vice versa.

Yes and he knows mine.
We use whoevers phone is closest for whatever purpose and I'm nosey so use his for social media stalking

My DH knows mine as it's our DC birthday he's told me his before when I've had to use his phone but I can't remember it always forget and to be fair I don't think I'd want to be snooping on his phone because I think once you do that the trust has been broken

Yes we know each others, I use his phone quite a bit (all our music is on there so we use it linked up to a speaker at home) plus he has a better contract so I use it to call my parents (expats so expensive calls).

I don’t think he ever uses mine but I wouldn’t have an issue with it!
