Kathryn's FB post made me think of this...

I don't know the passwords or use them often enough to recall them, but I have used his accounts before and vice versa - we just tell them to each other as needed. 

The same w/ pin and other account numbers.

Yeah this. We don't share accounts or log onto eachother's regularly but there is no secrecy.

We know each others passwords but don't use them unless the other one knows about it.

I said SS just because I don't know his passwords - but its not necessarily out of privacy, its more just because I dont really care lol. I have no desire to log on to his FB or his email etc.

We do have general passwords that we share for things like our BGE account etc.

This is us too. We shared them more when we worked together, bc sometimes I would need to access something in his email or vice versa. But really I have never accessed it otherwise, nor would I even remember any of his passwords to do so. My gmail/fb is set up with everything saved so if he wanted to check either for any reason all he would have to do is go to either site on the laptop and open them. No biggie.

Bank/bill account information is all shared.

I know his Facebook login information because I created the account for him and he's never changed it. I login occasionally to spy on someone I don't actually want to friend but am curious about 

I don't know his email login information and I don't think he'd want to share that with me.  I use the same password for everything and I've given it to him for various reasons, but he can barely remember it.  It's a really awesome password and hard to remember.

I don't know his ATM PIN, but he probably doesn't, either.  We rarely use ATMs.  I'm sure if I asked, he'd give it to me, and vice versa.

I know his passwords for different things but don't usually use them unless he tells me to, he knows about it first or if i do something sneaky like posting something crazy on his wall on FB that he will see and know about that i am messing with him just because i wanna. He has been told me a few different times when i had him log in to do something but i dont think he actually retained the information.

To answer my own question, we share passwords for all financial/banking accounts since all of those accounts are joint anyway. If either of us can't remember, usually the other can come up with it. But we don't share our email or FB passwords. I think we both like to have that privacy.

I voted yes, but don't use them, but we do log in to each others accounts on occasion.  DH sometimes needs information I have in an email on my account but not his, I sometimes log in to his facebook account for games (like oregon trail or family feud, where I can help myself out by playing off his account too!).  We both know and doesn't matter much to either of us.

We have seperate accounts for FB, email and such. I wouldn't be against telling him my passwords for anything because I really have nothing to hide.

I do the banking for us (since I work in the field, that and I am tighter with our money!) and we have all of our accounts set up as joint accounts for banking. I have always handled things like bill pay, adding to our savings accounts, etc. So he has been given the PINs for signing on to see our accounts online. He just chooses not to sign in.

It just helps me realize that we have a dish fairy, a trash fairy, a sheets/towels/pillow fairy and apparently a bill fairy too. Not sure where they live in our house but they are around.

We both use a few base passwords and change around capitalization, digits, placement of characters, etc for each account.  So maybe if I tried 20 different things, I could guess all of his and vice versa but I've never wanted to do that.  We also both tend to stay signed in to email or FB on our own computers, even though we'll occasionally be on the other's computer so we're not super secret about privacy.

Honestly, unless something terrible happened to him, I can't imagine ever logging into his bank account or investment accounts.  But, we keep our finances much more independent than most couples.

Certain bills or stuff like iTunes, we know each other's passwords but that only because we share some usage.

We don't share passwords, but I'm sure if I ask, he'd give it to me and vice versa. But we also never log off any of our accounts. If he needed to get into any of my stuff, all he has to do turn on my laptop. The same also applies on his computer. Actually, i think my mozilla is set up to save all passwords.

For ATMs and stuff, I would have to ask for his because I've never been in a situation where I needed his PIN to his personal accounts.

I know his FB password but it's only b/c I helped him set it up. We don't know each other's bank info or email passwords.

My husband uses super crazy passwords and changes them constantly, so I could never remember/keep up, even  if I wanted too.

We know each other passwords for email accounts, FB and joint accounts that we pay $$ too. Does he use mine? No often, unless I need him to look something up for me when I'm not near a computer, etc. Do I use his? Sometimes.

We have a generic password for accounts such as Verizon, Comcast, BGE, Snapfish, Shutterfly, etc.  Email, bank accounts, and FB (well for me since he doesn't have an account) are not shared.  There's no particular reason for this ~ it's just how we work.  Besides, we each have our own computers at home, so most passwords are automatically saved and we could access the other person's  information if needed.

There's no secrecy so we have shared our passwords throughout the years but I know he can't remember mine. He frequently logs into my accounts for me and every single time he has to ask for my passwords. When we go out, I normally drive so I know his PIN if we go to the ATM. I think if he really tried he could figure mine out.

wawajeanne

He knows my general password that i use for all my non-banking accounts, but I don't know his.  This is just because he has a better memory than I do.  We've both told each other our passwords so we could randomly pull up some information from the other person's email or something.

Pin number we do not know each others, but that's just because we have no need to.  We each have our own sign-in/ATM card for our joint accounts.

Joanis018

we both basically use the same password for everything

Cali1012

We don't share FB passwords, but we will share other account passwords, but only at the time when we need to log in (i.e. if I asked him to log into my email to check something while I'm on the road). We don't remember them and if we need to log into another person's account we always ask permission first.
