Modern Love
in the Digital Age

The how-to guide on digital sharing for new couples, bad breakups, and committed partners.

Relationships are hard, but the internet made them stranger. Long-standing questions on household responsibilities, merged finances, and whose in-laws to visit for the holidays have made way for digital disagreements: When to track each other’s location, which passwords to divulge, and what, if anything, is off limits?  
 
Introducing “Modern love in the digital age.” This online resource from Malwarebytes includes important new research on device, password, and account access within relationships, along with specific guidance for people who want to safely share their digital lives with someone they love—or shut off that access from someone who cannot be trusted.

How couples share an all-access pass to their digital lives.

Everybody in a relationship shares some of their digital lives with their partner (no, really, everybody), but, as revealed in this new report, that sharing can come with regret. Even worse, it can be the product of coercion and harassment.  
 
“What’s mine is yours: How couples share an all-access pass to their digital lives” unveils the true story of device and account access for committed partners, including the 30% who regret sharing location tracking, and the nearly 1 in 3 Gen Z and Millennial partners who said an ex used their accounts to stalk them.
