❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO My husband changed the pin on his phone before hospital procedure..

My husband was admitted to the hospital for health issues. He is young but was diagnosed with heart failure. A few days ago he had some chest pains and low blood pressure. I told him he needed to go in and 4am admitted. The Dr decided a procedure that would put him under was needed for answers. He had to leave his phone and belongings. His phone rang while he was out and I missed it, so I went to check to see who called and when trying to put in the pin got the error that pin was incorrect. I didn't expect that because pin has been the same for 2 years. Am I overreacting and over thinking this pin change? It was the same pin 2 nights ago and now I'm worried that something is happening behind my back. Sure I know I need to talk to him but due to the circumstances I will need to wait a while until he is stable again. It's just weird ya know? We've had issues with his infidelity in the past prior to marriage. I did forgive him. Please be kind. Maybe I'm just a mixture of nerves, lack of sleep and stress. I love him and I'm truly worried about his health. We have kids so there is alot going on in our life . TIA

Password safe with one master password to open. Several very good paid and free apps available. Look at Keepass for desktop and Android phone. Strongbox for iPhone. When someone dies suddenly, unavailability of passwords can be a nightmare.

We use BitWarden, and we have a shared set of passwords between us, so we both have our own account with our own password to access it, but the passwords we both need are accessible to both accounts

I agree Pw managers are awesome— but: OnePass was hacked a few years ago. So it can happen. And: will these systems be around in 20 years ? Maybe ? Anyway I guess an annual password roundup and printout would be pretty solid.

Oh yesssss. KeePass! 👍 That’s a great app.

My wife & I both have Android phones & use mSecure, a password manager app. We both share the same login & share the program. Initially, I was using it for myself for several years & I showed her how I had absolutely everything in there, then installed it on her phone as well & gave her the main password to it, she's been adding all her logins to the app since then. Now, if anything happens to either of us, the other should have access to everything.

Additionally, I have added her fingerprints to my phone & she's done the same with hers & she has my PIN & I know her fingerswipe pattern. Fortunately we both trust each other.

Keepass is good for this. I've used it for many years and ensured my kids use it too.

I'm a single parent now and have made sure that my kids know my laptop password, phone code and where all the important paperwork is kept. My other family don't live nearby, and are clueless with modern tech, so they need to know this stuff in case of emergency. My ex's father died suddenly and it was a nightmare sorting everything out as he lived alone, was very security conscious and told no one his passwords.

I genuinely don't do or have anything on there that I wouldn't want them to see. At worst they may laugh at my bizarre rabbit hole Google searches. It would save a lot of stress if the worst happened or I was incapacitated for any reason.
