How about changing the title to SO? lol
Dh and I share 95% of our passwords including banking and most forums we frequent.

I say no. There is no reason they need to know my password/PIN.

only password my bf knows is to log into the computer cause I don't really care but for emails, forums etc - I would never share them - they are to protect your information.

There is absolutely no need for her to know. Similarly, I do not care to know her info.

My wife and I share just about everything (bank accounts, emails, sweaters, etc). She knows all and so do I. We like it that way.

Those of you married or in long term relationships....
How do you manage your finances if you do not share PINs?
With us, it's all shared, every penny.

Banks and stuff (when I'm married) I'll share for sure, as our finances will be joint.
For now, I don't share things like MSN, email, forums...she shares hers with me, but that's her choice.

If/when the relationship makes it to that point, then yes, it would be fine to share PIN's.

No and neither does she. I have enough passwords, numbers, pass phrases etc crammed in here. I don't want anymore.

Simple. We don't share. I pay almost everything. She pays entertainment (e.g. vacation). Even if you share the account, why do you need to share PIN? Each one has a bank card. Each card has its own pin.

no. if the couple trust each other :p, then there's no need to.
I know a friend who gives his msn passweord to his gf so she can check if any girls msg him. I was surprised when i tried msging him and it turns out to be the gf instead.

Yep, if the trust is established, there is no need to share password. There is no need to check out other's email.
Sharing password creates other problem. If one is not careful about his/her own password, he/she would not be careful about other's password.
Also, there is a difference between trust and mistake. Says, you let your wife to login to check your email without your present. She may have deleted your email without knowing how important that email would be. She may delete it without even know that. She may forget to logout.
Or, you were waiting for a 'new' email in your office but she read it at home and made it a 'read' email. Hence, it does not show up in your mailer. When you finally find it, you scratch your head to try to figure what was going on.

When first married we had a joint chequing account and totally comingled our money. However, we have found (after a few years), that it is way better to have seperate chequing accounts (I have 3 and she has 2), seperate RRSPs, inotherwords, seperate financial management. That's not to say it's a "secret"., In fact, just the opposite. I know what she has and she knows what I have. We keep a file locked in a home safe with all the bank account numbers, credit card numbers, debit passwords, financial documents, etc. This is important in case something should happen to one of us....ya never know when tragedy can strike.
Married for 31 years.

My gf knows most of my online passwords since I only have a few passwords for everything but doesn't know my financial passwords which are unique.

My boyfriend and I know our passwords for everything. We have never asked but we learned it over time based on things we need to do. Ex. Can you pull out some money for me? Check my email for the instructions? etc etc....
But we do run into situations where we are planning a surprise ... then we need to make secret accounts. I have ruined a lot of surprises by accidently seeing it through his email. Most recently, my surprise birthday party and surprise anniversary gift.

I tell them nothing, and they tell me everything. It's all about who is the dominant one in the relationship. 100% control assures your victory over your gf/wife.

I'm not sure I would be okay with my bf going through my emails or bank info like PIN's etc. He knows how much I have etc.. and who emails me but the fact that he can go through it anytime sort of bugs me. I sorta cracked his email password but meh I haven't login once yet. I think of it as our separate privacy that I should respect. It's like your own space and if people check your emails, take money out of your bank account etc.. then it's sorta getting close into the personal space thing. Doesn't matter that he's my bf, I respect his space he should respect mine.

If you want to snoop around and get someone's passwords....Passware is the software to get. This software allows the user to read to the passwords on almost anything on the computer.

I cannot admit to sharing passwords. If I ever admitted that and later got scammed the bank would tell me I am liable.
You should never admit to it either.
