Do you trust your friends with your passwords?

A weird tid-bit is that I know almost all of my friends' email/myspace passwords. I'm not really sure how that came to happen, but it did. Do you know YOUR friends/family members passwords? And do you trust your friends with knowing YOUR passwords?

None of my family know my passwords and im not so sure I would want them too. I know they wouldnt want me to have theirs. Although with friends, i find it a bit different as I do know a few of my friends passwords and they know mine, but this doesnt really worry me!

this depends on your personal things, and when it is about friends then my friends don't ask me to give my password to him or I am not asking to give their passwords to me. So I don't have any problem if they want and actually necessary. Even I have 1-2 Friends passwords and they have mine for some personal reason and we can access each others account on behalf of each other whenever require.

No, i don't. I have lots of sensitive stuffs on my email and other accounts. I don't think they should be reading it. I also have my accounts which has something to do with money so it's definitely a no-no to everybody including friends. I don't think my friends would respect my accounts knowing too well that they're the nosy type. I'd rather keep my password to myself. Ironically, they do share their passwords to me.

My husband is the only one person who knows my username and password. Sometimes i will let him check my email and i will just ask him whats new. To me its not a big deal, its not a problem even its a personal email. i trust my husband. For friends and other people, i dont think its so important for them to know my password. I dont mind if they dont give me personal information too so no reason to give my personal things like that with them. We respect privacy anyway. happy mylotting and smile always!

Yeah I do trust just a few close friends with my passwords. =D I have many online accounts but just two people know my password in Friendster. One is my very close college friend and the other was just a new classmate this sem. I gave him my password due to official reasons, i uploaded my professor's pictures in my friendster, which was sort of required in our orientation program.. It was very urgent so I gave him my password.. Anyway, no regrets co'z I believe he won't do something on my FS account. =D And speaking about passwords, it amazes me that I can guess most of my close friends' passwords on Friendster although some of them don't give it to me. =D I don't know maybe I can easily guess it on their personality--the words that come out in their mouth, their favorites and everything.. =D but although i know their passwords, i don't have any intentions to do something about it.. =D i just don't care. =D

My husband knows most of my passwords, and I know his. We trust eachother, and if I receive an email that concerns both of us, I just let him log into my email and read it himself if he wants to. We also have a shared email account that we use when we communicate with our friends. My mother also knows the password for my email. Sometimes when I am away from home and don't have access to the internet, I ask my mother to open my email. If I am expecting an important email she reads it aloud to me on the phone. My mother respects my privacy very much, I trust her completely and I know that she would never log into my email if I didn't ask her to. My friends don't have my passwords, I don't want that, but I am not afraid of sharing the information with my husband and my mother, because trust both of them.

Hello friend, I would not trust anyone with my password and I am very frank about it. Be it the closest friend of mine.Knowing somebody's password is fine as long as you do not misuse it.

Actually it was my lifelong friend who signed up for me and created my email address and password nine years ago and it's the only email addy i've been using since then. I also never felt the need to change my password. My husband and my sister know it and sometimes i ask my hubby to check my mails for me and i do the same for him too. There is nothing very personal in them and me and my husband love and trust each other so much that we don't need to keep our passwords a secret.

In case of passwords, you should not trust on anybody other than your close relatives. This will create problem to you in future.. also this will break your relationship with others.

Well right now my kids are still pretty young to get on the computer too much besides a few learning game sites so the only people on the computers is my husband and I and he had his computer and I have mine so the passwords aren't really a big deal. We also used the same few passwords for almost everything because we tend to forget them if we use a whole bunch of different ones, but no we keep our passwords secret between the two of us. There was one time that our friend knew it so he could get onto our laptop but he is the only one and he is definitely one we can trust, he has been friends with my husband since they were 8.

I don;t often give away my PW. My sister knows it, but pretty much no one else. Most of my passwords are a little different from one another, like i change the numbers. I just posted a discussion about my roommate who checks her ex boyfriend's facebook, and deletes all female friend requests and looks at his messages (both sent and received). I find this to be very very very annoying and invasive, and I would never give my password to HER!

absolutely not! i just even made a big mistake of trusting my password to my long-time ex, how much more to a friend? i don't think negatively about others but i'm kinda a private person... i want my privacy and i also like to respect other people's privacy...

Yes, i can trust my family, Everybody in my family know password with together, No problem in my home. I don't have closely friend since i got married for 11 yrs, noone friends know my password. I think if you are not important in your account not important or knowing but more important you don't tell them.

I have my hubs email passwords but not banking passwords. On the other hand, I will not share any passwords of mine with my hubs or family. I think I just need some privacy on what I am doing .
