Putting a password on one's phone

Q: In the event a man has two wives and not wanting them to have jealousy and fights, he puts a code on his phone not allowing his wives to access his cell phone to see his calls, messages or photos. Would this be acceptable Islamicly even though the wife insists on looking into the phone and becoming angry for days on end?

A: To maintain the peace he should be transparent.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
