You could just ask him to open the secret account when he is sitting at his computer. You should know by the look on his face and his reaction. If he's got nothing's to hide he should do it. If he has a look of fear and goes into a speech about privacy and trust then something's up.

How's he acting otherwise? Is his phone attached to his body?

Yes watch the cell phone if if goes everywhere that is a sure sign. My wife had several email accounts and was using facebook messaging. The keylogger is going to be the only way to know for sure

Some malware or anti-virus programs can see them. Trial version may pop up a notice on the number of free days left (I don't know).

A hardware keylogger can not be detected other than visually seeing it on the back of the computer. Even then, it just looks like an adapter. I'm in IT and I ordered one for security analysis. They even make them to replace parts in a keyboard, and there is a wifi version as well. None can be detected by any software.

I learned about these devices here. Now I have to worry about janitorial staff tapping PC's here for customer data. We will have people disconnect and lock their keyboards away at the end of the day now.

Well when you find out your SO has a secret email account, they aren't that wonderful, trusting and incredible either!

This is a profound statement. Makes sense.

What makes it a 'secret' email account? Does one spouse's lack of knowledge of it automatically make it 'secret'?
Just wondering.

Regardless, I wouldn't advocate committing a crime (and, yes, hacking another person's email account is a crime) because you don't like the fact they have an email account of which you were previously unaware.

Here's a crazy thought ... instead of breaking the law to snoop on your husband, why not first sit down and have a mature discussion with him about why he needs a 'secret' email account?

I can get slapped with charges I don't really care, if my H has an email account that I'm not aware of on our, yes "our" not "his" computer, it's my business. Why not sit down and have a "mature" conversation about it? Are you for real? Do you think if your SO is carrying on something with someone else through email that they would admit it? And in my H's case he could have shown me his email and I would have seen nothing, it was only by doing digging in the email that I found saved chats, not emails.

Unfortunately this seldom works.

Especially when you've already decided your SO is guilty. Why bother asking the question when you've already made up your mind about the answer?

OK, I'm confused. If you've already concluded that your husband is cheating - to the point that you're certain he'd lie in response to any inquiry - why are you bothering to hack into his email? Why make yourself a criminal to prove something you already know? Just take the necessary steps to move on from that toxic of a relationship. (Must be toxic if you believe the mere thought of a mature discussion is something to be scoffed at).

Regarding the email, it matters not one bit whether it's his computer, your computer, a shared computer or someone else's computer. Hacking into someone else's email is a crime. Your logic is akin to suggesting it's OK to open a letter addressed to a neighbor if the postman accidentally sticks it in your mailbox.

I didn't "know" he was cheating, there were suspicions, and reason for suspicion, but I didn't know for sure. I am not scoffing at a mature discussion, but if they are already hiding something what makes you think that they are just going to give up and tell you what's really going on? "Oops, yup you caught me!!". My relationship with my SO is in no way "toxic" but we were very young and immature and barely knew each other when we became parents and tried to form a family from that, which despite our faults (everyone's got 'em) we've done quite well.

That being said, my computer, my husband, my business....my computer, my neighbor? Not my business...You want something done right, you have to do it yourself

So now we can expect teenagers to have their parents arrested for hacking into their facebook or email accounts?

I tried this.. I have to either reset his password with an alternate email account (It does show part of the email to reset the password, i didn't know about that one either.) or talk to customer service.
