Most smart devices will automatically connect to a WiFi network after you’ve logged in once. As a result, certain WiFi passwords are now easily forgotten. While iPhones lack a built-in feature for quickly displaying the password of your WiFi network, there are workarounds. Here’s how to find the WiFi password on your iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Follow these steps to find the password on an iPhone running iOS 16:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although you can’t look up your Wi-Fi password on your iPhone, there is a simple way to share it with a friend. Sharing a Wi-Fi password is simple as long as you’re both running iOS 11 or higher (this also works on Macs running macOS High Sierra (10.13) or higher).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You must meet the following requirements to use this feature:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you use Personal Hotspot, you have more options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Personal Hotspot is an iOS feature that allows you to share your iPhone’s cellular data connection with nearby Wi-Fi devices. In that case, anyone nearby who wants to connect to Wi-Fi using your iPhone only needs your Personal Hotspot password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you use Personal Hotspot, your iPhone acts as your home Wi-Fi router. In that case, locating your Personal Hotspot password is straightforward. Follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may not realize it, but your iPhone is loaded with saved passwords for websites, apps, and Wi-Fi networks. These passwords are saved in the Keychain,\u00a0a program that stores your login information and assists you by auto-filling it into login forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u00a0can use iCloud Keychain to view Wi-Fi passwords if you have a Mac. iCloud Keychain works similarly to Keychain, but it stores your usernames in your iCloud account rather than on your Mac or iPhone. Login information saved in iCloud can be synced to your iCloud-enabled devices. That means you can view a Wi-Fi password saved on your iPhone on a Mac. Here’s how it’s done:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To begin, ensure that the iCloud Keychain is enabled on your iPhone. To open the Settings app, tap it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another method for using your iPhone to find a Wi-Fi password is to go directly to the source: your Wi-Fi router. This isn’t\u00a0the same as finding the WiFi password on your iPhone, but it does the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this case, you’re going straight to the source: the Wi-Fi router. All Wi-Fi routers allow you to log in and change settings, such as the password. Here’s what you should do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ascertain that your iPhone is connected to the Wi-Fi network whose password you wish to discover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will be prompted to log in to your router. You’ll need the username and password you created when you set up the router to connect to it as an administrator. Hopefully, you saved this somewhere. It’s also possible that you did not change the default username and password (which you should have done!). In that case, it could be as straightforward as admin\/admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you’ve logged into your router, each Wi-Fi router will have a slightly different set of steps for locating the Wi-Fi password, but look for settings or the name of the Wi-Fi network to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can’t look up a Wi-Fi network password on your iPhone unless it’s jailbroken and running apps that allow you to do so. This is because Apple does not include the option in iOS 15 and later, even if you have the password saved in your Keychain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The good news is that iOS 16 allows you\u00a0to view the password for the Wi-Fi network to which you are currently connected. There are some other ways to look up passwords on your iPhone as described above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes. To share Wi-Fi from an iPhone to an iPad, first,\u00a0turn on Bluetooth on both devices and turn off personal hotspots. Each device’s owners will also need to add each other as contacts and include their Apple ID email addresses. Install the most recent iOS updates and stand within 6 feet of each other. The iPad owner can then choose a Wi-Fi network, and the iPhone user is prompted to share the password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes. Because Android devices do not run the iOS operating system, you will need to take additional steps. To begin, download a QR code generator for the iPhone. A program like Visual Codes or Qrafter will suffice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You’ll be able to generate a QR code for your home Wi-Fi password once you launch the app. Open the QR code on your iPhone and scan it with the Android to give the password to an Android device. You can scan it using your camera or a QR scanner app. To confirm the network connection, an Android message may appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes. Because Macbooks and iPhones are Apple products, their software functions more smoothly. This facilitates file transfer, data backup, and Wi-Fi password sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Connect your Macbook to a Wi-Fi network and place your iPhone nearby. Select the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to on the iPhone (it should be the same network to which the Macbook is connected). You should see a pop-up message on your Mac requesting access to the Wi-Fi password. To grant access to the iPhone, click Share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It should be noted that you must be running macOS High Sierra or a later version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check that your iOS is up to date. Navigate to Settings > General and check for available software updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
