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.

No I value my privacy and respect his. We're two separate ppl entitled to private communications.

If I stopped trusting him then the relationship would be over anyway.

Just because people like their privacy does not mean there are trust issues. I am my own person, DH does not need access to all parts of my life and vv.

I don't know his and he doesn't know mine, only because we have never asked each other cos I have no interest in reading his boring what'sap conversations about Crossfit or whatever! I know his I pad one because sometimes the kids watch a film on it

Yes. He knows mine too. I trust him not to read my emails and texts and I don't read his. If he did want to trawl through them he would be bored stiff anyway.

Yes, we both know each other’s. But I’ve never taken a look. I don’t think he has either. I wouldn’t mind if he did want to look, unless it was around the time of his birthday and he ruined a surprise for himself.

Both don't have a passcode. Don't really see why we'd need to lock our phones...

A couple of reasons
1 to prevent accidental dialing if knocked in your pocket or bag and 2 to stop a bill bring tun ibid your phone gets lost or stolen.
Having passcode isn't always about being secretive from your partner.

He doesn’t have one and has no problem with me using his phone.

I have a passcode which theoretically he should know as it’s my birthday. Whether he can actually remember it is another matter all together. I have no problem with him looking. I’ve nothing to hide.

Incase of theft, some dickhead at a party if you’ve left your phone out, children, random dialling, random billing etc.

It’s actually a bit daft not to have a passcode on your phone.

He doesn't know mine and I don't know his. Never felt the need to know either.

Yes, we share the same one. Nothing to hide.

No. It's not a secret but I have no need to know it. I'm sure if I needed it he'd tell me.

I don't know his phone passcode but I have a feeling he's told me in the past and I've forgotten it. He knows mine as I told him quite recently when I asked him to check something on my phone. I don't think he knew it before that.

I do have access to his emails (as we share an ipad).

I know his , I’m not sure if he knows mine . Not that I’m hiding it , it’s just that his is unique to him , and obvious , whereas mine is much more random . That said , I’d have no issue handing him mine to use if there was something on it he needed .

I do but I never look. I only ever really unlock his phone to change the music (on his request)

bring tun ibid your

Phone went a bit random!!
I was just trying to say something along the lines of stopping a bill being run up!!!

We have the same passcode for our phones/iPad. I don't think anything of it and neither does he. If we wanted to search something online, we'd both grab the nearest phone and not think anything of it.

No idea of DH's passwords & vice versa. We have been together a v long time - about 30 years - so way before people had mobiles, let alone smart phones. Sharing passwords etc has never really occurred to either of us. Never had any need to.

Yes and thank god I did look otherwise I wouldn't have found out he was 'chatting' to other girls through facebook, signing up for dating websites and slagging me off to everyone. The signs were there beforehand though which was why I ended up snooping. I'm now divorcing the loser

Yeah we know each others and his fingerprint can also unlock my phone. We don't tend to look at all, but will grab the others phone if ours are dead.

Yep. He also knows mine.

@aPengTing If your phone is stolen, it being locked isn't going to bring it back is it. And I don't leave my phone lying around at home it's either In my handbag in our understairs cupboard, on charge in our bedroom or up on kitchen side out of the way of kids. And no one I associate with would 'take my phone' at a party So really there is no point in locking it, DH feels the same way, if anything it's bloody annoying it being locked having to punch a number in every time I want to use it!

If your phone is stolen, it being locked isn't going to bring it back is it.

No, but it stops others being able to use it and run a bill on your phone account.

My phone has personal information on - mine and others. It has direct access to various online accounts. I have my online and app passwords set automatically so I don't have to enter them every time. My phone has personal photographs and videos on too - photos of my family and friends.

I don't want people having access to any of this stuff if my phone is stolen or lost.

I can, using Find my iPhone, cancel complete access to it and have it locked so it is unusable by anyone else finding it without my password.

However, the latter is also why DH knows my password. If anything should happen to me, he isn't locked out and can access my accounts and my phone.

If your phone is stolen, it being locked isn't going to bring it back is it

Of course not, but it stops the thief being able to look at pics, bank and personal details until you can wipe it remotely.
Do you not think protecting things is important?
