I need advice ...

So I gave my friends my password to this course that cost me like 4K & my other friend was telling me I should have charged them for it since they’ll be benefiting from it.

I changed my password the next day and now a couple months later my friend is asking what happened to it.

I feel guilty but also feel like I should have asked for $ to give them access.

Should I tell her I changed my mind and charge her? Tell a white lie..or just give it to her for free?

Dude just ...pretend nothing happened ...pretty simple. Unless you want to look bad :/ say they detected two IP’s using it and revoked access

Yeah. Just say they sent you an email that your account was being used by two different people and you had to change your password or they would cancel your account for violation of terms of service.

You’re a squirrel. You paid for the course, that’s a sunk cost. It’s not like you bought it in agreement with this other person to split and they didn’t pay up. Them using or not using your account doesn’t affect how much you paid.

Also consider that you made a decision which may or may not have impacted the other person. What if in the past 2 months, they were given opportunities to split with other people or to be gifted course materials from someone else, but they passed because they thought they already had access?

You should stay true to your word and give the password. I wouldn’t charge. You can however say that it was an expensive course so if they wanted to chip in, that would be appreciated.

To be clear, you can do whatever you want, lie, charge, go back on your word— but it makes you an asshole. Shame on you for asking.

Not really comparable. OP isn’t asking about the morality of sharing the password.

I would say if you had been open from the beginning about splitting it would’ve been fine but you gave your friend your word now so kinda a dick move to revoke access later. I would use it as a learning lesson for future

Thank you - I agree

Depends on how good of a friend this is. Like others said above it is a royal dick move to go back on your word and now ask for money, so I wouldn’t do it if it’s a good friend. Chances are your friend probably won’t pay for it anyway (sounds like the type of person that is looking for a loophole to not pay regardless, so if it’s not through you they’ll figure out another way). Full disclosure, I used to be this type of person so I know them well.

I ended up giving her access - thanks for everyone’s advice!! She’s not a super close friend and I gave her access when we were all drinking - lesson learned.. I def regretted it but don’t wanna be an asshole. Was just curious about what everyone would have to say.

You should definitely be open! 4K is a lot of money. Speak with that friend. If it’s a situation where that friend would never have enough money to pay for it; maybe you can work out a deal so you don’t bear the burden yourself but still be generous. I would be horrified if I was the friend and didn’t chip in.

Tell her if she wants to use it then it’s only fair that you split the cost. If she’s a reasonable person she’ll understand because thats what makes sense
