Do you have your wife's password?

No. I realize its an option but its sorta creepy to me. Its like opening the other persons mail.

You can access her Steam anyway through account sharing. If she has a unique Steam password I don't see the difference.

My wife and I know how to access each other's e-mail. We've never done it, but if anything happens to me she can access and pay the bills that come in. If nothing else I'd recommend something in your will or an "open if I die" envelope with your passwords in it.
