Hello, I've waited here for you.

The digital era has given rise to a more intimate custom. It has become fashionable for young people to express their affection for each other by sharing their passwords to e-mail, Facebook and other accounts. Boyfriends and girlfriends sometimes even create identical passwords, and let each other read their private e-mails and texts.

“Sharing passwords, she noted, feels forbidden because it is generally discouraged by adults and involves vulnerability. And there is pressure in many teenage relationships to share passwords, just as there is to have sex.

“The response is the same: if we’re in a relationship, you have to give me anything,” Ms. Wiseman said.”

I don’t even trust me with someone else’s password. Don’t do it kids. You WILL regret it, and if you have, change the password immediately. It’s NOT 21st century romance, it’s 21st century peer pressure. Ps, nice shout out to Sam’s Gizmodo column a few weeks back ;)
