You shouldn't even have to ask. In a good and healthy relationship you will have absolutely nothing to hide from your partner. in my marriage if I need to look something up or take a picture of my children and my husband's phone is closer I will take it and use his phone, and it's vise versa.

Yes, agree. I’m with someone I trust and don’t even feel the need to know passwords.

My phone isn’t only about me. It has ny friends’ secrets and private lives. It has my private life too. Transperancy doesn’t mean nakedness!

Do people not have friends that confide things to them? If I write something to someone in confidence I absolutely expect them not to show it to some rando they are dating or wife or husband or whatever.

And if your partner did not share their PW, is it normal to hack their devices to search them while they're away or sleeping?

I trust my partner so I don't ask for her phone password. Trust isn't going thru their phone of Diary or any of their things. That's not trust

What about when we can’t trust our partners not to get jealous, paranoid or weaponise information that we share?

We got our passwords because we always use the nearest phone for calls, messages, streaming,... because we are lazy🥲

One thing is what if he keep saying you can have my password but you shouldn’t be reading my messages because they’re private. What can we do to this kind of mindset?

Agreed! Secrets always come out though people can hide all they want. But the darkness must always come the light.

I don’t need to see what’s on my wife’s phone. What people may miss is that your partner may have a friend that has confided something to them in secret and expected discretion. Something you should never know. Not in a cheating way. But something very personal. Violating that is just as bad as hiding something on purpose.

If you want to have access to your partner’s phone you already don’t trust then. The relationship already has a trust problem.

My partners Face ID is in my phone in case something happens to me. But they are welcome in my phone anytime. However, they don’t feel the need to check it bc we have trust. In addition, they have told me their password many times and I always forget it. 🤣🤣 With that said…find a trusting partner and work on your own insecurities. 💚

every single one of my partners were incredibly secretive + defensive about their phones or computers, yet they were all bothered that I didn't trust them🙄

When you have transparency and trust in your relationship you don’t need to know the passwords. You know everything neverthless
