Giving Your Online Login Info to your Partner

Expand Post »
I just read this article a moment ago about a Christian Couple giving each other full access to their login information.

So what do you think?

I personally dont agree with it. Why? Well, I believe there should still be a level of privacy in a relationship.

Re: Giving Your Online Login Info to your Partner

There are many scooping online software to detect your significant other's online activity. Is this just wrong or has the level of transparency grown to another dimension?

I agree with your belief in a level of privacy. I think that our culture of opening up about everything, celebrities going on TV to talk about the skeletons in their closets, couples going on Dr. Phil to talk about their marital issues, etc. is running amok. There is a reason that 'TMI' is my favorite acronym.

Re: Giving Your Online Login Info to your Partner

I do think that the sense of privacy does not really exist anymore - especially where people post the most details as possible on Twitter and Facebook updates, like "just got to work now" or "read a document for work". There was a funny clip on Current TV about this: http://current.com/items/89891774_tw...h-twitters.htm

As I said in a previous thread, thiefs are monitoring Facebook and Twitter for people who post that they are away on vacation and targeting their property for robbery. It's like chumming the water for sharks.

Yes people do need to realize this, especially tweeters! You may think it is safe to tweet your leaving for the weekend if your profile is locked to private and only your friends see it but what if one of your friends has a public account and retweets it with a question or something?? Now everyone can see that you will be gone because they have to put the users name in a Re-tweet.

Exactly! Many people do not realize that just because they made an entry that is meant for their small personal community that each member of their community has their own community and if they comment on your entry it goes out across both communities. Sort of like the old shampoo commercial...I told two friends, they told two friends and so on and so on and so on ad infinitum.

Who cares what a couple does. It's up to them. If you don't want to share your login information, don't. If you are eager to share it with your significant other, then go for it. No one is stopping you.

Valid point. But by the same token, sharing this type of information can blow up in a persons face if the relationship goes bad and one part of the relationship turns out to be vindictive. From the point of view of an online community manager, having a bad breakup play out in your community (for example, in DaniWeb) could drive some people away. But in the end, your point is just as valid as everyone elses.

It is a very valid point that couples can share email addresses and or accounts. I guess it would have to do with how strong they're relationship is. I'm not for people posting information like leaving for the weekend on twitter because that's available for everyone to see.
