@Nightowlz I only have security on my phone in case I ever lose it.  Don't want to make it easy for someone to get access to everything on my phone.  I use biometrics for most of my apps, but still wouldn't want anyone to be able to get to my contacts, personal photos etc.

Most people have their phone with them all the time. If DH is with me when I leave the house I leave my phone at home. If I take it with me I leave it in the car. I only take it in case of an emergency since anything else can wait til I get home. 

If you have personal info I would use a password. I just don't see the need for mine. I basically use it for texts.

I know his, and he knows mine.  There have been times when it has been very useful knowing, and avoiding a hassle.

@aj1980  DH knows my password to my phone and computer. His phone is touch password only, because he uses it for work. But I know his computer password. Our children know our passwords as well, but our grandchildren don't. I'm not sure why you wouldn't want your spouse to know.

i am honestly not sure why my s/o would NEED to know....... he has his own phone......

[MamaWick]

Yep.  We have nothing to hide.

Yes. We know each other's phone passwords. It's important for emergencies. My brother didn't know his wife's password. She was incapacitated and couldn't tell him. There was important info on her phone that needed to be accessed, but he couldn't get to it.

We do. It's come in handy several times. Neither of us have any need or interest in "checking" on each other.

 Would you give it to them if they ever ask for it?

@aj1980 

I don't use a password and my cell phone is used only for emergency phone calls. Nobody knows my cell phone number other than myself and my wife.

Why would I not want my wife to be able to access my cell phone?

Absolutely....for everything and there are many passwords.  If anything happened to one of us...we would be able to access any account necessary.  If I didn't trust my husband, I wouldn't be married to him...we trust each other.

Ditto!

Plus, I don't have a password on my phone in case something happens and I'm incapacitated, I want whoever is assisting me to be able to call my DH or one of my "Contacts"

I've never asked DH for his password, but I'm 99% sure I know what it is - It's probably the one he uses for everything. (LOL) 

ETA: I don't have any shopping or banking Apps on my phone, so there's no danger in a "stranger" having access to my banking or debit card information.

Yes my hubby knows the password to my phone - the question isn't if he KNOWS it, but whether or not he actually cares to REMEMBER it.  I have nothing to hide so he's welcome to check my phone whenever he'd like, but he never shows any interest in my phone because he spends so much time on his own for work purposes.   I also know his password but rarely touch his phone unless I want to let him know he missed a call or text.  I'm not a huge fan of modern technology and use my cell phone primarily for necessary phone calls and a few texts now and then, so there's nothing there interesting enough to look at.  Being technologically challenged makes using the internet about all I care to attempt.  Five-year-old kids could teach me about cell phone and computer usage if I actually cared enough to try to learn, but it's just more information to try to cram into my lousy memory - so no thanks.
