    Yes, we used to live together so used the same computer (mine) quite a lot and from memory we both could have had our password saved so that when you're on the sign in screen you just click on your name and it automatically goes in without you having to enter your password.  Could this be how they linked up at some point maybe?

    I suspect this may the clue. 

    Could you contact this person to discuss this?

      I'd rather not contact them.  I just wanted to know if they could see mine really.

      I think a screenshot of the said page would bring justice to this discussion. Could the OP make one to see it?

        I'm not sure what you mean by 'being played'!  Do you think I'm finding this fun?

        I can't take a screen shot though without it showing both email addresses.

        Sounds more like your computer still has the password for this other individual saved as a cookie.

          I have checked with them and they have changed their password, this wouldn't work then even if it were saved would it?  I have changed my password a few times too.
