My husband, son and I all have passcodes on our phones. Of course we know each otherā€™s pass codes though. I donā€™t put security on my phone to keep my family out-just anyone else!

We both have passwords on our phones. So our kids stay off them & incase we happen to lose our phone or something. But we know each otherā€™s codes. & either of us can grab one anotherā€™s phone at any given time if wanted!:woman_shrugging:

I have a passcode in case my phone is lost so no one can get in and access all the personal info stored on it. My partner knows my passcode and I know his.

Me and my husband both have the same password lol its so our smallest one doesnā€™t get into our phones

10

We donā€™t use them. But we are always home and have total trust.

11

You need them for some apps to work, like banking and apple pay. As long as you and your SO arenā€™t keeping the passcode from each other or the kids arenā€™t changing it to keep you out, thereā€™s no issue.

We have passcodes so if we misplace our phones Noone can get in. We also have find my phone apps

13

I have a passcode incase Face ID doesnā€™t work like when I wear a face mask for example. Hubby has pattern on his incase his finger print doesnā€™t read. We know each otherā€™s. And itā€™s good to stop pocket dialling :joy: x

I have a passcode on my phone because of my children, however the downside is whenever my special needs child gets a hold of it he calls 911 because thatā€™s the only thing to do when its locked

17

I have a password. Its my phone and if it were to be lost I wouldnt want someone to go through all of my personal information and pictures.

18

My husband and I both have passwords on our phones but we know each otherā€™s and the only reason they are on there are to keep the kids or others out of our phones not each other

19

We have one for security purposes. We know each otherā€™s passcodes and so do the kids.

20

It slows down the usein emergency.

21

I have a passcode- because kids :woman_shrugging:t2: I donā€™t need the 2 year old accidentally calling/FaceTiming someone again :rofl:

22

We obviously use them for security from everyone else. No one gets to see my info if they nab it. We know the codes though.

23

You have to these days. Stored bank info, credit cards, but in a relationship you should know each others

Me&my parther have password to unlock&Face Unlockā€¦ We both have each others passwords& both of our faces can lock each others phones I mainly Have mine locked due to having kids lol

25

I have a password on mine case I lose it it will lock down after so many trys but my husband and kids no my password to get in my phone

26

Both my husband and I have to because of work emails
Howeverā€¦ and this is where I think it matterā€¦
He has my password and I have his
But if we change our passwords we donā€™t tell each other. We just tell the other when the other uses the phone and they canā€™t access it

Our kids also know our passwords and my niece is two and knows mine

27

AKA let me troll and see who I can dupe into giving up private info

28

Not having a passcode makes your phone a bigger target for theft. Phones are a target for theft regardless, but if you donā€™t make a passcode on your phone it just makes it that much easier

29

My husbands is coded, mine currently isnā€™t. I know his code. But it wouldnt bother me if I didnā€™t.

My husband and I both have passwords on our phone but we know what they are

Im not fond after being in a child loss situation. Imagining if my oldest found him or others navigating call 911 than call us etc i would never on finger print. If a officer was trying to call my spouse from my phone regarding me and my children but couldnā€™t :sob:

My husband and I both have one to keep the kids off them but we know each otherā€™s.

Tf you mean? A password on MY phone? I wish a bitch would complain about it.

35

I have to because of work emails and my partner rings ppl in his pocket.

But both know each otherā€™s pin

36

My password is in case my phone gets lost or stolen :woman_shrugging:

37

We have passwords. But also have each otherā€™s passwords? Lol

38

I am required to have a passcode on my phone due to using it for business. Even if I wasnā€™t, Iā€™d have a passcode on my phone. I had one as a teenager, Iā€™ve had one while married, I still have one as a divorced adult. Itā€™s only a problem if itā€™s used as a way to hide cheating, lying, inappropriate activities, etcā€¦

39

Passwords only cause of online banking the kids know both of our pwrds just like I know his & he knows mine

My husband and I have passwords on our phones and iPad.

43

It really depends on the reason, I started putting a passcode on my phone because an old phone that I had kept unlocking in my pocket I donā€™t want to chance it

44

I have it on minešŸ’ā€ā™€ļø

45

Neccessary.
My husband knows my passcode. I know his.
But if we didnā€™t have them then our kids would be calling god knows who and posting God knows what on accident

I have no passcode but i also dont leave home :joy: i have nothing to hide but if I was out more regular I would probably have one in case it was lost, joe blow wouldnt have access to all my info. There should be no secrets in a relationship, but I also dont look through my partners phone.

I have one because even though I have to log into the individual apps I have access to confidential files through it and want the extra layer of protection. Hubby has my pin code if he needs the phone but not the pwā€™s to the confidential stuff.

52

I never cared for them so I donā€™t use them. I expect to have the password of any partner Iā€™m dating not that I want to go through the phone but if I need access to text or call on their behalf etc also bc it shows trust.

Does your husband have one now and your concerned? Do you want one because you want to keep secrets from your husband? Thereā€™s a ton of reasons and " why / why nots ".
