If you’ve forgotten your Wi-Fi password or need to share it with someone else, this post will be helpful to you.
In this article, I’ll show you how to find your Wi-Fi password on your iPhone without using any third-party apps or computers. You can also easily share this password with other iPhones or save it in your Apple Keychain for future use. Let’s see how to do that.
How to Find WiFi Password on iPhone
The best way to see the Wi-Fi Password on your iPhone is to view the password using settings. Here are the steps to follow:
Note: This method works on iPhones supporting iOS 16 and above.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone and click on “Wi-Fi.”
- Tap the “i” icon next to the name of the Wi-Fi network.
- Tap on the saved password.
- Verify your passcodes or Face ID.
- Once you authenticate your password, the Wi-Fi password will automatically appear. Now, you can also copy this password and share it with others.
Share WiFi Password from iPhone to iPhone
If you want to share your Wi-Fi password with someone else, connect the same Wi-Fi network to your other iPhone, or even share it with your family, you can try the new iOS feature to Share Wi-Fi Passwords without entering them manually. This feature is particularly useful when you have guests at home or when a family member buys a new device and needs to connect to the Wi-Fi.
Before jumping to the steps, please note that you must meet the basic requirements to use this feature:
- Both iPhones should be close to each other.
- Must be running on iOS 11 or later.
- Both iPhones’ Wi-Fi and Bluetooth should be enabled.
- Apple IDs must be saved in each other’s contacts.
If you have met all the requirements, then follow the steps below:
- Connect the first iPhone to the Wi-Fi.
- Try to connect the second iPhone to the same network.
- Bring the two iPhones close together.
- On the first iPhone, a pop-up will appear. Tap “Share Password.”
- The second iPhone will get a notification with the network name and password. Tap “Join.”
Save WiFi Password On Apple Keychain
To secure your Wi-Fi router passwords on your device for future use without having to remember them, Apple Keychain can help save the password on iCloud. It also auto-connects your other Apple products if they are linked with the same Apple ID.
- Open the Settings app and tap on the “Profile” tab.
- Tap on “iCloud.”
- Click on the “Password and Keychain” option.
- Turn on the “Sync This iPhone” toggle to save all your Passwords in your iCloud.
Before iOS 16, you couldn’t easily see your passwords, but in the latest update, Apple has provided this feature to simplify our task. Now, you can easily share, save, and find router passwords using your iPhone or iPad.
However, this same method is not working for your old iPhone that runs on iOS 15 and lower. For that, you need to either jailbreak your device or manually check your password using the Wi-Fi router panel, but it doesn’t work for mobile hotspot settings. In that case, you can only use another device and check it.
