Narcissist Behavior Q&A
🔐 They demand my phone and account passwords
No relationship entitles anyone to demand your passwords. What matters is holding the boundary around your accounts and your privacy.
The short answer
Sharing a password because you wanted to is different from handing it over under threat.
When this happens, try this
- From a safe phone or computer they can't access, change your passwords and recovery email, and sign out any devices you don't recognize.
- But if being caught changing passwords could bring immediate retaliation, secure a safe place and a source of help first.
Scenes like this
- They said refusing to show your texts and photos means you're hiding something.
- They secretly pressed your finger to unlock your phone, or changed your passcode.
How to tell the difference
They can say they feel insecure. They may not get into your accounts and control your conversations, money, and relationships.
