Re: Does Your Mate/spouse know your cellphone password?

My husband and I use the same identical numeric password on our phones and iPads.

 

I have never signed into his devices, but he occasionally will bring me his phone to block numbers, delete stuff, etc. same with the iPad.  He is not very techie.

 

I don't think he has ever signed into mine, but I wouldn't care if he did.

Yes, DH and I have the same passcode on our iPhones and iPads. 

Our memories aren't like they used to be.

 

We have nothing to hide from each other. We're together 24/7 and wouldn't have it any other way.

I have told DH the passwords to my phone and laptop on many occassions.  He never remembers them.

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.


 

My cellphone is rarely used..I have more minutes on the Tracfone than I can use in a lifetime.

DH wants nothing to do with the cellphone..don't think he could turn it on!

I'm lucky he can use the house landline. 

My 4 yr. old grandson can use the cellphone better than I can.

  • No, he does not have my passwords for anything.  Not my phone, laptop, Kindle, bank accounts, investment account, My Health etc etc.  Nor do I have his passwords.  I don't know why he would ask, he'd have to have an excellent reason for asking for a password.  It's not about trust, it's just that we two separate individuals.  I've had a few surgeries in my life and I did give him my phone and a couple of other passwords.  Just in case.  And when I was back on my feet, I changed them.  My BFF of 40 years each have a "file" with each other's vital information, including passwords.  Including how to access this board to advise posters of my passing.

No, and he'd never remember it if I gave it to him.  My husband isn't the least bit interested in that type of information.  All he knows about his flip type cell phone is how to call home and how to answer it when it rings.

We both use the same p/w for our phones, works best for us that way. DH says there is no way he wants to look at my contacts, he knows I have thousands of them and isn't sure who is in which group that I sort them into.

Of course we do.  I can't think of a reason why we wouldn't.  We know every password to anything, have home sharing on our computers, share back account numbers (but have separate accounts), POA's and act many times for the other one.

Re: Does Your Mate/spouse know your cellphone password?

YES! We have each others passwords..phones and computers. We both have nothing to hide and just incase something happens to one of us, or if one of us was to be hospitalized...

My Beloved Brother just recently died and am glad we have

some of his passwords, not all which has made it difficult for important matters that we are handling....

Re: Does Your Mate/spouse know your cellphone password?

We know each other's passcodes. We each have medical emergency info and drs numbers so we need access to each other's phone. I can't imagine why anyone would have a problem with their spouse having their phone passcode.
