**This whole password thing is made into such a big deal, its not even funny! Its not like your other half is gonna be checking up on you 24/7 ( and, if they are then they should not be your other half.)
Plus if you got nothing to hide, this is not a big deal!

I don't mind giving my password to SO, because I KNOW he won't be checking my emails etc. But asking for it is weird. However, I'd like to know the reason my SO wouldn't want me to know it. They can obviously have the privacy.
I have nothing to hide from him...he knows my passwords and i know his....but ofcourse we open each other accounts if theres something urgent or only necessary....knowing passwords doesnt mean that u have to open their accounts and read their private stuff :p
You give it..and take theirs. Then make a pvt e-mail address and send a mass e-mail telling all your friends to e-mail you there from now on. I'm kidding, I'd give it..I have nothing to hide.
Or meet up both ways make a two part mexican standoff…
Especially for the bank account if it’s a joint account each of you has half the password and that way only both of you can get the cash if your together.
but neither has he asked for my pswd as yet ...nor have I ...guess our trust doesn't need sharing passwords and spying on each others accounts and the emails we receive
:p
another Western influenced mentality about privacy .. aah! .. either don't accept 'em as your "life partner" or if you have then let 'em believe they are their partner .. ..
I would not mind if she asks for my passwords .. I might ask in return but i would never "initiate" it ..
but neither has he asked for my pswd as yet ...nor have I ...guess our trust doesn't need sharing passwords and spying on each others accounts and the emails we receive
:p
Why the need to know the password to your spouse's email account? Is to make sure that there's no infidelity taking place? What if...let's say...that a GF/wife were to receive emails from her female friends...something of a personal nature....and she doesn't want to share it with her husband?
I wouldn't ask him for the password to his email account...and I don't feel comfortable giving mine. Even with my immediate family...I've never asked anyone for their email password...nor have I been asked to give mine.
Its a unique concept. The reason I asked is because my sister has had my passwords for the past 10 years and vice versa. People will happily share personal information with blood relatives but not with the woman or man they will spend the rest of their lives with.
Also as many people have stated they would want the password but not share theirs. So much for trust.
