I for one doesn't have anything to hide from my husband, so it's okay if he sees me type it..even if he checks my emails and social net sites..I'm not guilty of anything..The same goes with him...How about you? Are you hiding something??

I hate to say this! But I don't even remember my MyLot password most of the time. I get them to send me the password and then I remember. Most times I simply am logged in, when I arrive. I don't mind sharing my password with my partner. Often I leave MyLot up when I am away from the computer. I am sure he has seen some of my posts. I try to be flattering when speaking about him, but I do admit that sometimes my words and emotions do get away from me. LOL! Be well. Have a bright and blessed weekend.

hello eihdra, i have nothing to hide from my hubby and he have nothing to hide from me so we both know anything about each other be it a password or personal account. when we are still dating he will tell me all his passwords and will give me permission to write or open his email and or phone an dothers personal stuff and he can do the same. some guys dont like it to be that way specially if they are just in a dating period and more if the guy or girl is hiding something or just plain secretive and dont trust the partner. i am very grateful that i can trust my man and he can trust me and we both dont have to undergo with a pressure of worrying who or where he goes. it is great that you can live a life that dont have this as it helps the relationship a lot to become stronger and more trusting. my hubby knows me sometimes i feel more than i know myself haha! takecare

Well, it's not that I dont' trust my partner (if I have) with my passwords. I just feel that it's my private stuff and I prefer to keep it to myself.

For me, it's not a matter of whether or not there is something to hide. I just don't tell anyone my passwords without a good and specific reason and if there is a reason that someone should know my password, then I either change it for that purpose (and change it back afterwards) or I give it and then change it. I was taught (and I have always taught to my students and the people I have supported) that your password should be known only to you because only you can control how you use it. You may (and, indeed, should) have nothing to hide but your password gives access not only to data but also to personal information which can be changed. You may trust the person you give it to implicitly but can you really have MORE confidence in that person's appreciation of security than you have in yourself? I mean, if you are prepared to give your password to someone (however trustworthy you deem them to be), can you expect them to be MORE careful with it than you are? You may see no valid reason for them to share that information with anyone else but you but there is always the potential for them to think "This [third person] needs this password for legitimate reasons which I trust. 'Eihdra' didn't object to sharing it with me and she trusts me, so it must be OK if I share it with [the third person]." You will find that a few people choose to be offended by this attitude and assume that, because I won't share my password, I must therefore not trust them (or 'love' them, in some cases). Fine. That is their problem, I say. I prefer to remain in control of my accounts and personal information as much as possible and it has nothing to do with ordinary day-to-day trust or love.

hi..you're right in there...some people just dont want to share their passwords for security purposes and not because you're cheating or lying and you don't wanna be found out by your partner..thanks for the post..

We actually shared it with each other, because we trust each other very much. Sometimes this kind of helps, especially when for example she wants to see her e_mails and she also needs to go to the toilet, and until she gets back, i turn on the computer and enter the e_mail, so the things go faster and smoother. I think that if you have nothing to hide and you trust your partner, you shouldn't hide from him / her.

I won't give my credit card or debit card password to my girlfriend, because everyone should handle their own money. I don't ask her e-mail and she doesn't either, and things has been going well at the moment.

I let my guy see me password. I'd rather keep it private because he's jealous and would see any communication with other men as suspicious. But then again I don't talk to any guys so I have nothing to wory about. He's a bit of a prankster so that's another reason why I would rather him not know my passwords. I'm afraid he'd play a prank on me. ;p

In fact I even tell my password to my husband. There is no secret and I am not lying to him all the time. So it is not a big deal that he knows my password. We trust each other and actually my husband isn't interested in my emailbox or something like that. I love China

well, my girlfriend don't have any of my passwords. that's not because i don't trust her. instead she respects me so she don't want to know things like passwords. i don't have any of her passwords either for the same reason.

Well, my lovers before knows my password. I have nothing to hide. now that we are not lovers anymore, if they want to check I really don't care. I don't have sensitive transactions over the internet except for my paypal account. If they would mess with my e-mail it would really be there problem. I trust so much. That is my problem. Take care =)

A partner is a person with whom we share everything that we have. So what is the problem if we share our PASSWORD with our partner.If we don't share our password, it means we are trying to hide something from our partner.
