I don't share passwords with my spouse. That would be a bad security posture.

Not even for Netflix?

  We don't use Netflix. We share no accounts at all of any kind.

Assuming you have MFA and don't re-use passwords. What's more likely: 1. A determined attacker targets you and causes significant uninsured irreparable harm. 2. At some point in your life you end up in hospital and your spouse is caused significant distress as they can't access an account.

  Actually items 0 and -1 in priority order are an issue: 0. She has poor password and security hygiene (I know this) and manages to screw it up. -1. We get divorced. I have delegation set up, offline backups with keepass database in and instructions that can be followed. ALL my hardware is toast though instantly.

    Not gonna lie, you sound like you wear a tinfoil hat too. Or maybe a lead hat because tinfoil doesn't block enough of the EM spectrum.

      No not really. I am burned by experience on both items.

      Both of those cases are likely to occur with high possibilities. (poor security hygene, divorce, etc) Also, in this day and age, "tinfoil hat" is no longer an insult. It's a given that any security leakage scenario you can imagine already happened (ie in the world where government taps all cell phone, intercepts all bits going across all telcos, and likely stores them permanently for offline cracking, and you can speculatively attack processors, tap/attack ram contents via thunderbolt or pcie, I'd take the tinfoil hat over someone wanting to do a personal insult)

        I was less referring to that and more referring to > ALL my hardware is toast though instantly

        Maybe the dude had a bad run in with divorce lawyers who, to put it lightly, can get everything and anything from you (and I do mean anything and everything). It's not really a thing to insult someone over though.

        I thought you said tinfoil hat isn’t an insult...?

        It's about protecting your data. Disks are encrypted and keys are not stored. Only backups are available to my next of kin who isn't my wife for reasons I don't want to get into here :)
