How to Retrieve WiFi Password from iPhone: A Simple Guide

Forgetting your WiFi password can be a real headache, especially when you need to connect a new device. iPhone users often want to retrieve their saved WiFi password from their device for various reasons. Fortunately, there are ways to obtain your WiFi password from an iPhone.

Method 1: Retrieve WiFi Password using Keychain Access

Your iPhone typically saves your WiFi passwords in the Keychain, which is Apple's built-in password management system. Here's how you can access your WiFi password:

1. Open the 'Settings' app on your iPhone
2. Tap on 'Passwords & Accounts'
3. Tap on 'Website & App Passwords' and use Face ID, Touch ID, or enter your passcode to access saved passwords
4. Scroll down to find the WiFi network name, tap on it, and the password will be displayed

Method 2: Retrieve WiFi Password using a Router

If you don't have access to your iPhone or the above method didn't work, you can try accessing your WiFi password through your router. Here's how:

1. Connect your iPhone to the WiFi network
2. Open a web browser on a device already connected to the WiFi (like a laptop)
3. Enter your router's IP address in the web browser's address bar (commonly 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1)
4. Enter your router's username and password (check the back of your router for default credentials)
5. Look for the WiFi settings or password section in your router's admin panel to view or reset the password

By following these methods, you can easily retrieve your WiFi password from your iPhone in case you forget it. Make sure to store it securely to avoid similar troubles in the future.
