No. She doesn't trust you - the relationship is already compromised.

She has trust issues. Do not give her your password.

Omg its just email. Who cares. My s.o. has my password and I have his. We exchanged them for nerd reasons though. (testing site specs and info access of each other accts: books, articles etc) We live together so it may be a little different. Also if he wanted to, he could get access to any info of mine I put on or through a computer. Dang nerdboy!

I wouldn't give it out to someone I was just dating. I would just say I have all my sensitive info on that acct and don't want to worry about you accessing it from an unsecured computer. Legit concern for white lies to tell.

I think if you can't secretly figure out your SO's passwords on your own, it is rude to ask!

If the latter, I'd - perhaps - show her what's in my account, but not give her the password.

My wife and I have each other's passwords for everything, but neither of us actually asked for them. We've just given them when we felt like it, and have no secrets worth keeping from each other. However, we ARE in a good relationship, so it's really no big deal to either of us.
I'd like to add, that when one has nothing to hide, sharing private/personal info. is no big deal.

Normally the SNEAK who somthing is the one to ACCUSE.

Don't give her your password and for the record she is not a girlfriend she is a stalker.

For the record, while asking for your password, did she offer you hers?
