It's a federal offense to break in to a password protected system of any kind. Using her password without permission would fall under this statute. As a federal crime, it carries jail time.

I think it depends on what he does with this knowledge. The best answer is that the woman should change her password on a regular basis as most security experts recomend..

Yes. Most definitely an invasion of privacy.
