7675 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 I let my GF add her fingerprint to my phone lock. It was really just a spur of the moment thing, plus I already know her password for her phone. But now I feel a little off about it. I don't have anything to hide really, and I know she respects my privacy just as I respect hers. But it still feels like it was a dumb move, especially since she didn't even ask me to do it. I don't know, was it smart? Or should I get rid of the fingerprint lock
d0nnivain Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 If you have nothing to hide, what's the big deal? If she abuses the privilege that is another thing. DH & I have some but not all of each other's passwords. We actually have the passwords to really important stuff like bank accounts in sealed envelopes in the house safe, to be opened in case of emergency. If you do ever break up change those passwords immediately. Also remember that having the passwords is not the same thing as having trust.
Jj66 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Oh man. That's tough. I've given my gf my password in the past because it was expedient. I was driving and needed her to.do something. Do not know if she remembers it but she might. I did not nor would I add her finger print. I don't have anything to hide and I trust her not to raid my bank accounts, but finger print access just seems like too much access for me. Much harder to explain removing the finger print than changing the password if I stopped trusting her with my phone.
SevenCity Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 No way. Although you may not have other chicks on your phone you could potentially share your feelings about her (good or bad) with a friend or family. Or your friend can send you a text of a hot chick and you say "I'd hit that" with no intention of cheating. I never give access to my phone to a gf. Never.
coolheadal Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 It's a matter of trust and respect for each other! If you don't have trust and respect you might as well get out of this relationship altogether.
Sweetfish Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 I dont see a problem...whats the question again or concern?
RecentChange Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 How long has she been your girlfriend? My husband and I have always shared our phones, I have no problem with it. I would want to know someone fairly well before handing it over though.
ThisisIt606 Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 If you're that worried about it and don't want to tell her you're no longer giving her access, just don't have your phone lying around. If she picks it up and opens it you can always as "what are you doing?" Perfectly legitimate as it's your phone. The only time she SHOULD be using her finger password is if you told her to look something up for you. She shouldn't just feel free to browse your stuff for the hell of it. More of an emergency situation or if you're lazy and don't feel like checking the weather or email for instance, then you can tell her to do it.
OnlyHonesty Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 An honest answer to the following question will clear that up for you. Do you think that allowing your gf access to your phone with her fingerprint is something that increases or decreases the respect / attraction your gf has for you as a man (whether consciously or sub consciously).
Popsicle Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 I don't know, I wouldn't worry about it until it becomes a problem.
smackie9 Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 I can never understand the purpose of sharing pw's, giving each other access to your personal $%^&. If you have nothing to hide, and you trust each other, then it's not necessary to share it, and it should never be an obligation or proof of anything. I think it's dumb. I can feel your regret...you can't take it back now or you will draw suspicion to yourself. Have fun with that...... 2
