How to Retrieve a WiFi Password from Your iPhone
Forgetting your WiFi password can be a hassle, especially when you need it to connect other devices. If you've ever found yourself in this situation, fret not, as there's a way to retrieve the WiFi password from your iPhone.
The iOS operating system doesn't allow you to view the saved WiFi passwords directly; however, you can access them through the Keychain Access feature. Here's how:
- Open the 'Settings' app on your iPhone.
- Tap on 'Wi-Fi' settings.
- Find the WiFi network you're connected to and tap on the 'i' icon next to it.
- Tap on 'Forget This Network'.
- Reconnect to the WiFi network; this time, you'll be prompted to enter the password.
- Once connected, your iPhone will save the password in the Keychain Access.
- To view the password, you'll need another Apple device connected to the same iCloud account.
- On the second device, go to 'Settings' > 'Passwords & Accounts' > 'Website & App Passwords'.
- You'll be prompted to authenticate using Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode.
- Scroll through the list to find the WiFi network name and tap on it.
- You will now see the saved password for the WiFi network.
Remember to keep your devices secure and avoid sharing your WiFi password with strangers. Stay vigilant and protect your digital assets to ensure a safe online experience.
