Does your spouse know your passwords?
When I was married I knew some of my ex-husbands passwords, but not all of them. I only knew the ones that he would randomly ask me to check for him.
It wasn't a big deal. I actually didn't care. But I see some couples that have to know every password that their significant other has. I personally like having something that is just for me. I never had anything to hide.
My question is, do you think its normal or bizarre to need to know them all? If you demand to know them, does that mean you question your partner and 'what they do behind closed doors'? and if so, why be with them if you can't trust them?

My wife and youngest daughter know all my banking and financial passwords.
They could figure out any of my "entertainment" sites, since they know the passwords I rotate.
Other than my work computer, this is the only site I get on at work and I rearely get on the computer at home.0 -
I think its a trust issue !!! My fellings are if I can not trust you you are worthless . Trust is the base of any relationship . Bet this pisses some people off.0

I think it's weird... I don't see why other half should know.
Occasionally have given one to him to check things for me like banking (entirely trust him) but have changed them too after to be extra secure.
I don't have anything to hide, nor should he but sometimes you have to have your personal space-it's the same with mail. I wouldn't want anybody else opening it. It's addressed to me, and e-mail etc is just like a phonecall and sometimes you need to just moan about the other half in private... unfortunately with e-mail I guess its there written down... and never goes away really even if you delete it!0 -
She has them all. I leave my home Pc logged in and on all the time.0

Occasionally we've used each others and both are too lazy to change them afterwards. I don't bother going on his sites and I assume he wouldn't bother with mine (if he can't be bothered to look on his own facebook I can't see he'd go in mine!)0

I know most of my husband's passwords and he doesn't really know any of mine :P Mostly because he had to change his recently so he changed them to one that we share on things such as online banking.
Some people get weirded out that I can read his emails and stuff but he really doesn't care. It's not a trust thing at all, I know he isn't hiding anything (if I had trust issues we never would have survived 2 years ultra long distance - Australia/UK). I just like to have a nose through his email from time to time which is mostly boring work stuff - IT stuff that I don't understand but still I like to look. Couldn't really tell you why :P0 -
Happily single but 1 rule in my house is passwords are known to me...but then thats my kids (14-20)
I wouldn't demand to know a spouses but if they were deliberately secretive I'd be a tad suspicious....I did know all my ex boyfriends passwords but thats because he gave me his bank passwords and secret answers to check his account and he was a creature of habit, one password fits all, doubt he's changed them even now.0 -
I dont think it is a healthy relationship if we have to know each others passwords. We both trust each other and I think by having passwords we are not allowing our spouse any breathing room. Freedom is key they have to have their freedom and we have to have ours. If I didnt trust her I would not have married her. There for if she were to ask for it I would give it to her I have nthing to hide and neither does she0

I set up my OH's email accounts LOL!
He doesn't know mine but could probably guess (or guess closely enough but maybe not get the exact passwords)
My work passwords change every few months0 -
No but I'd give them if needed. He knows my bank card pin code, though!0

My husband doesn't know all my passwords but all he would have to do is ask and I would give them to him. He doesn't ask because he trusts me. And I wouldn't care if he asked either... because I have nothing to hide.0

Yep. What she said.0 -
my husband knows most of mine,and i know most his ( mainly because he has a memory like a sieve,and asks me to remind him what they are)
trust is important, we have been together 30 years!0 -
more or less yes on most things, for convenience.0

I know some of my husband's passwords, just because I've been online and he's asked me to check something for him. I don't usually remember them, so I have to ask for them again. I try to tell him mine, just in case he needs them for emergencies.. but he can barely remember his own, so the chances of him retaining mine. Slim to none! We trust each other and don't feel the need to check up on each other.. but every so often we'll joke around, if I get online and he's left his email up I'll ask in my fake jealous voice... "Oh yea.. who's ____"? But we know it's just a joke.. his favorite is to act all offended and say.. "Oh yea.. who's Facebook and why is he sending you all these notifications"?!?!?! HA.. the excitment of married life when you have two young kids. :laugh:0

no, he doesn't care.0

I know some of my partners, and he knows some of mine. He doesnt know my bank one, and I dont know his, but for emails and websites etc we do know them. We're both creatures of habit and rotate a few passwords for various things. I trust him and he trusts me, I dont check on his stuff and he doesnt look at mine because we respect eachother's privacy. Sometimes if we order food online or something he'll log on with my login because he doesnt have his own, or I'll ask him to check something for me (vice versa).
If things go sour, I'd simply change the passwords like I did when I had a less than friendly split from my last partner.
It's no big deal in my house0 -
I have my computer and she has hers. We share passwords when needed, but mostly we use two machines for convenince and for personal preferences. Most of her passwords are a pet's name and either a 1 or 2 after it. My standard password is the VIN to one of my cars...its alpha-numeric, super-secure, and easy for me to remember because I know how its decoded for that car. She can never remember it though and even when I wrote it down for her it got lost.0

I have found that people that think they need to know everything like that normaly are the ones that have stuff to hide.0

I know some of my husbands passwords to things that we both may need to log on for...but he usually is the one to access the account/site.
He doesn't know any of my passwords. He's never asked. I dont' know his.
He does know though what I usually use so he could probably figure it out if he wanted to. But he has no need to go on my accounts nor really cares.0 -
If you've got nothing to hide, why hide it?
Mine has all my passwords, all my bank account numbers, atm numbers and everything, as I do with his. Do I ever check his emails, accounts ? nope, don't feel that I need to do this, does he ever check mine? Nope, he has no reason too.0 -
Wife has the passwords to my financial accounts but none of my social networks. she could have them if she asked but she doesn't. Trust...what a concept!! I feel it makes for unhealthy relationships if one spouse feels they must have their spouses passwords.0

We both know each others -- there are pretty frequent instances where he has to call me and ask me to get something out of his email or vice versa. Other accounts I set up for him. We have shared accounts for netflix etc... so we both know the passwords for those and they also happen to be the same passwords we use for everything else. Definitely not a bad trust thing - in fact, i saw it as the opposite. He trusted me not to go in and start sending out random emails to people from his account haha... It's definitely not that I didn't trust him and needed in to see what he was doing... I trust him just fine. I've never once logged in there without him asking me to except to check over lunch to see if he had read my email asking if he could pick me up early as I was feeling unwell since he had forgotten his phone at home0

This is well0 -
My OH uses the same password for pretty much everything, though I forget it every other time I'd need it. He knows mine, mostly because I've had him check things for me. I don't really worry about it one way or the other because we trust each other pretty thoroughly (dating long distance tends to help with that)0

What she said if I was married. I'm not married though but my son lives with me and he knows some of my passwords and my bank card PINs. The only reason he doesn't know all of my passwords is because there's never been an occasion for him to need to know. I wouldn't have an issue with him knowing though.0 -

I know my husband's and he knows mine because we use the same set so we can remember them!! I never asked for them, he told them to me and same with me. I've never checked his email, only log on to his bank account on payday to pay bills and never check his credit card statements unless he asks me too. I consider it an invasion of his privacy. And he does the same for me. IMO, if you demand them, you have trust issues.0

We know all of each others, mainly cos they are the same for everything. Also know all banking details for our seperate accounts.
The only time we have rules about not looking is around birthdays and christmas. But neither of us look from one month to another. No trust issues at all x0
