It’s crazy to me that people are being so skeptical of the idea. A lot of people share their logins freely with their spouses. I have never done it nor would I condone it, but it would be trivial for me to install spyware on the devices of many people I know, because they rightfully trust me. Not only do I know some of their device passwords¹, being “the computer guy” I could just outright ask for it or get them to input it anywhere while fixing some issue they have.
¹ And many more I have forgotten, because I make it a point to not record them, even mentally.

- latexr 4mo agoThat assumes continued access, which may not be true. Installing spyware gives you information down the line.

- latexr 4mo agoYeah, once, possibly under time pressure, and not at all times. Spyware gives you continued access.
