do you passwords with your partner?

i have friends who don't share passwords with their partner saying they want to keep it to themselves for a little privacy. my partner offered to share his passwords to me even when our relationship was still young at that time. and i realized later on that he didn't share this with any of his girlfriends before. now, when he is making accounts on the internet he makes it a point that his passwords both have our names on it so it would be easy to remember. do you share passwords with your boyfriend or girlfriend?

Hi geonelynn: I haven't done it before but my best friend share her passwords with his former boyfriends and I see this in a negative way not only because they don't have privacy but also because I think that this doesn't make that trust grows on them. I'll explain. My best friend is a very jelous girl even with her friends so you can imagine how she was spying her boyfriend's account just to know what he was doing and to find the enails he has received. And if she find something she didn't like she had a discussion with her ex. As you may know this was one of the reasons that make that their relation break up so I won't recommend a person to do this. Thanks for asking us this question. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

There was a time i shared passwords with my ex partners. We broke up and next thing i knew she went on the internet and withdrew over 2000 australian dollars out of my account over 2days. I tried to get the bank to reverse it well they basically told me to get the money off of her and its my fault for giving out the passwords. So not now. sharing passwords with friends or partners can be very dangerous e.g with facebook. They can send illegal photos and anything that can get you in trouble and facebook has your username that sent those photos. Next thing you can be in court and in trouble. Anything is possible on the internet.

Only my facebook account, since there's nothing much to hide. other than that, my partner never asked for any of my passwords, and the same goes for me, so I don't really see the need to share passwords with anybody. After all, I don't share my ATM pin number with people too... so why start?

with my online money maker site he doesnt know about it as he will only tell me that im just wasting time for how many hours in exchange of a cents. i know he earned a lot while i dont have job. so i keep my password with me, but in chat or social site he knows it coz he a jealous type.

Interesting subject, indeed. Me personally, never share my passwords, no matter who it is and how close we are. Personal space is personal. I never give password of my mailbox, instant messengers or blogs. Moreover, I have never asked and never will ask for my boyfriend passwords. For me, personal space tells more about real trust, than common passwords for private things.

Sharing passwords is a wonderful indicator whether the relationship or friendship works or not. Beware of the moment when the partner or friend insists on his/her private passwords. When it comes to business and banking I prefer to keep my passwords secret and to have them in a file which needs to be found by the heir of my computer.

we've shared our passwords for years. Some of our passwords are about each other, but quite often they are random things.

My situation is a bit different though because we don't share passwords but the router I am using right now was a gift from him and he do check all my activities with it.Well yes privacy is always necessary and there are things that needs to be in private but anyway if you trust your partner I think these things is not so big issue for me.It is really up to him if he keeps secrets with me.Always just tell him,don't regret in the end.

I prefer to keep things like this very separately because though being together I believe we should have some things which we can keep to ourselves like the accounts of emails or any other sites too. He has my password because he asked me but when he offered his I prefer to do no take.

Me and my husband share all passwords from passwords on the net to bank account passwords. We always have right since the beginning and I feel that this is one thing which helped both of us gain complete trust with one another.

My husband and I also have passwords or what we call as code names. Its actually fun because we use words that are really funny to describe things. There are also times when we talk and only the two of us understand what we are talking about and I like it too because we can also preserve our privacy.

Funny thing you brought this up. I made my boyfriends Facebook page so there for i know his password and he hasnt not changed for almsot a year so i still know it is the password i choose for him. I also know on his car forum pages i made his screen name and password so i know all of that information too. I also do know his password to his email address and other personal pages also. He doesn't mind me looking and having this information because i can check to see what he has done and to see what he has bought and so fourth. Make sure are credit is good and we have money all the time is important so to check his personal information might always be a good idea as he likes to spend money alot on silly things.
