Password Privacy

[Deleted]

H asked me to log in to my hotmail on the laptop so he could use my account to run some diagnostics on the laptop. He turned his head to the side and I realized I didn't really care, but that he was polite enough to think I might care.

Got me to thinking about how with so much online stuff, how many passwords we all have. I have to keep a password protected document to track mine since I use variations for different accounts but try to not use the same one for EVERYTHING. Then I wondered how people handle that when married....do you share some but keep some private? Share all? Share none? And what is your reasoning for choosing which to share and which not to?

actually, I voted for all, but I realized that I know all of DH's but he doesn't know all of mine .

we know some of each others passwords when we've asked the other person to get into our email for something. oh and I sort of now use his amazon account because he got prime. neither of us know all of each others passwords though, mostly because I have a hard enough time remembering my own!

I know the main two H uses for accounts and he knows the main 2 I use for non-critical accounts. We don't know each other's banking info. Part of me feels bad because it's this ingrained thing from my mother that I just can't seem to shake off. It's not that I don't trust H or think we'll be married until the day one of us dies, but my Mom's voice in the back of my head just says, "What if?" so then I get leery about him having ALL my passwords. :/ I feel like this makes me a bad person.

We know all of each others passwords. I don't mind him knowing mine and he doesn't mind me knowing all of his.

We know all of each others. I have nothing I don't want him to see unless it is Christmas or birthday gifts

I know all of his, except for his work email. In theory he knows all of mine too, but he always forgets.

yes, i know all his, he knows all mine. he rotates his passwords, though, so sometimes it takes me a few guesses, but i can always get in. personal stuff, like email, fbook, we always ask/mention before going in..but we don't ask for non-personal stuff like amazon, mileage plans, bank accounts (we share, that's why it's "non-personal")...

I answered "no" but we do have shared logins for things that are "ours". Stuff like Netflix, Hulu, I think maybe the phone bill, etc. But anything that's individual -- even Amazon and Spotify -- we each have our own passwords.
