Would you share your logins/PWs with your spouse? (wife, husband, feelings)

[Wry_Martini]

I'm always surprised when someone I know mentions sharing their various logins & PWs with a spouse r a BF/GF. The idea of doing so makes me uncomfortable.

I think there are legitimate reasons to expect and have privacy. I was really upset one time when I emailed something personal to my sister, and her husband checked her email account and read it. If I had known he had access to her account, I wouldn't have sent her that email; it was absolutely none of his business.

Do you or would you share logins and PWs with your spouse or SO? Why or why not?

I always did. I've never had anything to hide from my wife. As soon as you begin to withhold things from your spouse, it brings up an issue with trust. I had her passwords and she had mine. Did I ever read any of her emails? No, unless she specifically showed one to me. Otherwise, I didn't bother. I respected her privacy, and never questioned whether she read any of mine or not. It didn't matter either way. We had no secrets and nothing to hide.

I never do. I don't think it's relevant.

All of my log-ins and passwords are in a notebook that's available for my husband to look up if he needs to access something and I'm not available. Also, so I remember the passwords on some of the less-used ones Everything from email to credit cards, bank accounts, various websites and messageboards, online games, bill pay sites, etc.

As for his accounts, he tends to use the same login and password for everything anyways, know one know them all lol

I don't think he's ever used any of mine, but I don't particularly care. *shrug* We share everything. Wouldn't bother me at all if he looked something up.

We have access to all of each other's accounts and can read anything anytime (email and such is usually left open anyway), but don't snoop.

I have no problem with the idea of letting my SO have passwords or login info, but if they used those accounts without my permission in anything but an emergency situation, I would be in the wind before they could take their next breath after I found out. But I suspect anyone I would be with would have similar feelings about privacy.

An expectation of privacy and having nothing to hide are not related in political theory or the law.

[OdysseusNY]

ugh. so many reasons to never share your password with anyone

enjoy the sliver of doubt if you ever get hacked

It depends on the account and whether or not he asks for it. He doesn't ask so I don't tell.

We have all of each others passwords and logins. I've hardly ever used them but occasionally I will need something when he is not around. It's never been a problem.
