Do you know of people who share passwords to their own accounts?
-
I think it is a terrible idea for people in a relationship to share passwords. For instance, what happens when that relationship falls apart? The other person could lock the owner out of their own account, send nasty messages to that person's friends and associates pretending to be that person. Identity theft is also a possibility, with credit cards, banking, ordering things, and PRIVACY.
I feel that sharing passwords shows a LACK of trust, because that person could just make another secret account which they do NOT share the password. Everyone is entitled to some privacy, and the other person should TRUST them enough to not be privy to everything they do.
What do you think?

My husband and I share passwords.
It's not a lack of trust, but the opposite. We don't care if we see each other's stuff. We've been together so long, there isn't much we don't know about the other.

@raphjd well.. yeah.... but it takes many years for your kind of relationship to develop. How many years did you know him before you shared passwords?

Going way back, there really wasn't passwords.
I guess our relationship grew as the use of passwords grew

@lololulu19 I have shared passwords in most relationships I'm in. Since I am my own email and network services provider, I have access to do a lot of things before anything has ever happened in my one relationship, and for some things, I still share passwords with one of my ex's.
It all depends on the situation and setting though. I have nothing to hide from my that ex (whose personal email and his mother's email are on my system), and as for my current Daddy, I have nothing to hide from him either. He has access to it all, but to my understanding, doesn't generally use it as he trusts me implicitly.
The few relationships I've had where they've gone really sour and sideways, I've always been the one to commit those acts of fuckery, however that did not happen until after some serious shady fuckery had already been committed against me, such as my ex planning to not tell me he was leaving until all of the sudden, he moved out with my brother of all people, who he used to get drunk on many occasions, and took advantage of, immediately after leaving me with a $583 mechanic's bill to fix my transmission lines after he broke them because he used my car without my knowledge or permission to move out while I was at work, and hit something in a parking lot in the process. In that case, I may or may not have logged into his company issued email account, changed his password, and then sent his HR manager a letter of resignation from his work account, then signed up his work email for ALL the porn emails.
The ex I'm still friends with to this day is a different story as we just got sick of arguing with each other because we're just too different to be compatible on that level, so I moved back into my parents' basement for a while until I moved into the place I'm in now, and left him with the apartment, all of my kitchen stuff (until he could get his own), and all the bills associated with the place, and thus left me with little to no responsibility in anything anymore. While we can both be kind of catty when things go sideways, in our older age, neither one of us will do shady shit unless it's in retaliation for other shady shit.
