Should couples share all their passwords, or is privacy important too?

In my marriage, we do share passwords. For us, it’s about transparency. We rarely even use them, but knowing they are open removes suspicion. I think it depends on personality: if both partners are comfortable, then it’s fine. But it should never be forced.

Balance is important. I believe couples can share some passwords like Netflix or joint bank accounts, but not every single one. A relationship should be based on trust, not surveillance. Imagine needing to check your partner’s messages daily – that means something deeper is wrong.

I don’t think couples need to share all passwords. Trust should not depend on access to each other’s phones or emails. Privacy is not secrecy. Each person should still have some personal space. Sharing everything might feel safe at first, but it can also build control issues.
