kaylan Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Me personally, if I put a passcode on my phone, no one is getting it. 1. because its a code I use for a couple of other things that must stay secure, 2. because anyone can snoop based on what Ive read online. Lets say a girl gives you her passcode to her phone because you sometimes need it to do something when youre hanging out. Would you think to yourself "damn...she must trust me a good bit". I just had a girl give me hers. First time thats happened to as usually most people I know are like me about their phone. Link to post Share on other sites
rdet123 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Im a girl and I don't have a passcode on my phone. The only reason I would want one is if it got stolen or something, but I just don't have a reason to have one. I think if she is giving it to you then she obviously trusts you which is a good sign! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
DoesntGetIt Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I don't keep a passcode on my phone. Last girl I was with I tossed her my credit card to order some tickets for something. Despite us breaking up, I'd still trust her with that. For me, nothing matters more in a relationship than honesty and trust. So, where I respect people to have private parts of their lives and wouldn't ask a significant other for their phone passcode if they had one, I would only be in a relationship where I felt I could trust the other person with stuff like that of my own. To answer the question more directly, it shows me they feel they can trust me and also shows me they want to be open with me. So it is a good thing when it happens. Link to post Share on other sites
beach Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 In some cases I would think it means they don't have solid boundaries. Private is private... Unless I'm married I'm not giving up my passwords to anything. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
haribogumsnickers Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 She gave you her passcode bc you're neo. Or maybe she has poor memory. It's what you do with it that speaks volumes. I never quite understood that saying. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

At best, you can only transfer all of checking into savings so that his card declines. Win. Fail. Money could be transferred that way to another account or even another bank. You can send money to anyone that way. Not smart to give anyone your online banking info. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Gloria25 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I guess it means she trusts you, but then again, maybe she just gave it to you cuz how else could you have used the phone for what you needed to use it for? I mean, when I call my brother or his wife, you never know who's gonna answer the phone sometimes - it could be him, her, and/or the kids. I don't see that as a sign of "trust", I just see it as a practicality. Think of it as calling a home with a landline...the phone is the "family" phone and can be picked up by anyone. I wouldn't like to be required to share my cel and/or social media with an SO cuz those things aren't as simple as a landline telephone - like others said, you have banking info and personal stuff on there. What if I have texts between me and a gf where I tell her I'm upset cuz my bf farted in his sleep last nite? I don't want him to read that and I should have "some" level of privacy.

Diezel Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Mine gave me her passcode so I could do something on her phone while she was driving. I've never given her mine, and I probably never will. I know she gave me hers because she knows I won't go snooping, but I know she also didn't give it to me because she was expecting my passcode in return either. I've been in past relationships where "her" giving me a passcode implied I was supposed to give her mine as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Art_Critic Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 if it were the phone for me it would imply trust, if it were their email it would imply they have nothing to hide.. at least in that account, I also know that if in the era of free emails that if someone has one email account they also have more.. My wife and I don't know each others passwords for everything.. many things yes but not all... Link to post Share on other sites
Hopeful30 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Oh wow, now we are basing trust on passcodes? What a sad world. Ive never had a passcode and never will. If something needs to stay THAT secure, it shouldnt be on your phone. Link to post Share on other sites
Art_Critic Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 my phone has a passcode on it not to keep my family out of it but strangers, the last thing I would need is some stranger looking thru my work email, which is also tied to many things.. like other accounts..or my personal ID. my family also knows the passcode.. so it isn't about keeping them out.. I was talking about a BF-GF scenario where they don't share a life together yet Link to post Share on other sites
adiamond Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 In regards to phone PW's, my bf and I both don't have phone pws and we always have each others phone. Sometimes he'll be taking a shower and his phone will be laying in the bed or sometimes I will give him my phone to look at pictures then have to walk away to do something. With my ex, we both knew all each other's pws and even after we broke up, we're both too lazy to change the pws. Link to post Share on other sites

Not only that she may simply not be concerned about you looking at her stuff and whether you have a reaction to anything, because she doesn't care what you think about whatever is in her phone Link to post Share on other sites
carhill Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 This happened to me a fair amount, mostly with MW's but sometimes with dating partners and why is only a guess, but I guess they trusted my fidelity to privacy. With some I had enough personal information to steal their identities if I wanted to. Reflecting, I don't think it meant anything in the relationship sense. However, erroneously, I did think at the time that such revelations were related to growing intimacy and trust, when, forensically, it seemed more like trust, like one would have in an accountant or lawyer. Long road from that to romance. Heh... Link to post Share on other sites
