What are your opinions on passcodes on phones from your parter?? Does it matter if you are dating, engaged or married? Do you expect them to give you the code or not have one at all?? Does trust have anything to do with your decision?? I’m wondering what the overall take on this topic is. I have a code on my phone and so does my boyfriend. We dont share them with each other. Should it change once we get married? He has never asked for mine. I sometimes wonder if that is supposed to change once the relationship gets more serious.
I watched a friend who lost her husband unexpectedly do everything she could to access his photos on his phone. She can’t because without the password it’s not possible. So now my husband and I have a password book. Passwords for everything are in it for emergencies.

Ive never looked through anyones phone. I wouldnt give my code, nor ask for theirs
Yes nowadays you should be able to see anything that your partner is doing on their phone and they should be able to see anything that you’re doing on yours that’s how you build trust

Having it vs using it are 2 different things. We have each other’s but never go in each other’s phones unless asked. Everyone needs some type of privacy

If my spouse doesn’t trust me enough that he has to snoop through my shit, we have no business being together. I do not go through his phone and he does not go through mine. I am sure we could probably figure out each other’s code if we wanted to, but the point is we trust one another and there is no need to go through each other’s stuff.
That’s entirely up To you, what works For one relationship might not work for the next. My husband and I all have the same passwords for everything lol. I could
Honestly careless what’s on his phone. If trust is an issue than marriage shouldn’t be on the table.

I mean, I think each situation is different. My ex husband use to use his phone to cheat on me all the time and also he physically cheated. My fiance doesn’t have a passcode on his phone. We’ve been together 7 years. I feel if he did, it would be difficult for me not to assume things, which also isn’t fair to bring past issues into a different relationship. But that would be something I’d have to work on. But regardless, there are delete buttons anyways

We don’t snoop into each other’s stuff but he often asks me to go into his emails to take care of different things or print stuff out.
It wasn’t a conscious decision it just happened because we are a team and we don’t have anything to hide…

We don’t have passcodes on our phones at all. We only have each other’s actual passwords for Facebook and stuff like that because we switch back and forth for business purposes when one or the other need to post something or talk to a client if we’re on the road. If it’s a trust thing for you, do that now and put everything on the table. If you’re going to get married, that does not grant “ownership” of a person, so, say you’re together 3-5 years before marriage (over even the 10 that some couples do), and it’s never been an issue, once you tie the knot then you say OK, passcodes now! …that would send some huge redflags

My fiance and I have been together 2 years and have always had access to each other’s phone but have never had to use it It’s not a trust issue as much as a comfort When we got our new phones about a month ago we both set up fingerprints and each other’s phones. It’s always been a non issue But then on the other hand I’ve been with people that do hide stuff And refuse to let you look I think ultimately it depends on what you’re comfortable with and how much you trust each other.

We both know each other’s passcodes and use each other’s phones all the time. He has Pokémon go so I play it all the time. And his battery lasts way longer then mine so we listen to spooky stories before bed on his. He didn’t have a phone for a long time to I bought him one so we could talk on his breaks at work. We have zero trust issues and communication is perfect in our relationship. He also knows my ex is still madly in love with me but I share all those messages with him always. Before he has his phone he always used mine. I would never go through his messages or anything though I trust him I don’t need to see who’s he’s talking too he’s allowed to have friends and private conversations. I don’t care if he goes through mine if he wanted too I don’t think he has though.

So, me and my husband have each other’s passcodes (actually, we have the same passcode ) and though we can, we don’t go through each others phone. It’s so inconvenient to have to unlock my phone if I ever need him to text or call for me if I’m busy.
Let’s also not forget how many people go missing, that probably would have had a better start at being found had someone knew there passcodes/words. Both my best friends and husband know my passcodes and have my location for this reason. I also have a go missing binder with all this information.
What exactly are y’all trying to hide that prevents you from allowing your spouse to have your passcode? They can still have it and respect your boundary for snooping

I know I’m not a mama, but I felt I should comment. If you feel you should be entitled to your partners passcode for their phone then you need to seriously look at your own trust issues. That goes both ways. I know sometimes the lack of trust is justified and if they have cheated or are thinking/talking about it with another person then they will get caught out somepoint. Any good strong relationships are built on trust and love.
If 2 people are in a relationship and one shows their insecurities by requiring unjustified access to their partners phone then that has a real impact on their partner who is quite probably totally innocent but now feels untrusted and that can cause more issues in itself.

My husband and I have each other’s passcodes and have access to each other’s phones but it wasn’t like a trust thing, it happened more casually over time like if we were doing something together and one of us had a phone on us and the other didn’t, just casually being like “hey can I use your phone for a sec? Oh what’s your passcode to unlock it btw?” Like it was never really a conversation we had, but if it’s a conversation you feel you should have then you 100% should! I think it’s natural to have access to each other’s devices, and it doesn’t have to be about a trust thing or whatever, I think it just naturally happens when you start mixing your life up with someone else’s I guess.

I’m not married but been together six years or so. I have a passcode on my phone to keep my kids out of it but my SO knows the code. I’m super boring and have nothing to hide so he has a passcode on his phone too and has told it to me numerous times but I have a crap memory so I don’t remember it. He tells it to me any time I need to use the phone for whatever reason (calls, sending a text for him, finding my phone lol) I don’t have a reason not to trust him at this point but if he were to start acting shady I’d probably write the code down.

My husband and I know each others passcodes.
Married for almost 17 years. My husband & I both have codes on our phones & have had them to keep the kids out of them since they were little. We know each others codes, always have… Only use them if we need to get something off the others phone like phone numbers or something like that. Not to go through them. The codes being on there were never about trust between us. Now if he all of a sudden changed it & wouldn’t share the new code there would be an issue…
We both have passcodes on our phones, but we often answer calls/texts for each other if that person is busy ect.
Shouldn’t be anything on there that your SO can’t see
We’ve never asked for each other’s passcodes 
We have the same pass code and we use each other’s phones from time to time. I don’t go through his phone and he doesn’t go through mine. We aren’t married but we do live together as if we were. We trust each other and have no problems communicating with each other.
Me and my boyfriend have been together almost 2 years and we both have passcodes in our phones and we both know them so we could get into each others phones however we have never needed to

I know his, he knows mine. What do we need to hide anything for? That doesn’t mean we go snooping in each others phones, though. He does the updates and tech-y stuff for my phone because I am so not a tech person.
I have nothing to hide. And if he’s hiding something, I figure I dont need to search for it. It’ll come out eventually. But until he gives me a reason not to trust him, I trust him.
I find it weird they haven’t told you the code yet. You should not be going through it anyways but I still know all my husbands and I don’t have any so 
We are 100% transparent. Same codes on our phones. Same passwords for email and all accounts.
When you have nothing to hide, you hide nothing.

13 year together and have always had each others pass codes. A friend of ours husband passed away and she didnt know the pass code to his ipad. They couldnt get it unlocked so their son lost any pictures or memories of his dad on that ipad. For that reason my parents also know my pass code.
