How to Show Wifi Password on iPhone

Have you ever been in a situation where you are connected to a Wi-Fi network on your iPhone, but someone asks you for the password? It can be quite frustrating trying to recall the password or asking the person who set it up. Luckily, there is a way to show the Wi-Fi password on your iPhone without much hassle.

Using Keychain Access

If you have connected to the Wi-Fi network before and your iPhone has saved the password in Keychain Access, you can easily retrieve it. Here’s how:

1. Open Settings: Launch the Settings app on your iPhone home screen.
2. Wi-Fi Settings: Tap on “Wi-Fi” from the list of options.
3. Network Information: Find and tap on the Wi-Fi network name you want to show the password for. This will take you to the network details page.
4. Show Password: On the network details page, tap on the “i” icon next to the network name.
5. Password Verification: You may be prompted to authenticate using Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode depending on your device settings.
6. Show Password: Once verified, scroll down and tap on “Show Password”.

This method allows you to retrieve previously saved passwords without having to ask anyone for it. However, keep in mind that this method only works if you have connected to the Wi-Fi network at least once before and allowed your iPhone to save the information.

iCloud Keychain Sync

If you have multiple Apple devices connected with iCloud Keychain enabled, this method allows you to view the Wi-Fi password on any of your devices. Here’s how:

1. Open Settings: Launch the Settings app on any Apple device connected to the same iCloud account.
2. Your Apple ID: Tap on your name at the top of the Settings screen.
3. Passwords & Security: Tap on “Passwords & Security”.
4. Authenticate: Authenticate using Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode.
5. Websites & Apps Passwords: Scroll down and tap on “Website & App Passwords”.
6. Password Verification: Again, you may be prompted to authenticate using Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode.
7. Show Passwords: Once verified, you will see a list of all saved passwords. Use the search bar at the top to find the Wi-Fi network name and tap on it.
8. Show Password: On the next screen, tap on “Show Password” to reveal it.

This method allows you to access Wi-Fi passwords from any of your Apple devices connected with iCloud Keychain sync. It is especially useful if you don’t have access to your iPhone but have another Apple device nearby.

Note: Jailbreak Required

If you have a jailbroken iPhone, there are third-party apps available in Cydia that can help you show Wi-Fi passwords directly from your device settings. However, keep in mind that jailbreaking voids your warranty and can compromise device security. Proceed with caution and only use trusted sources for jailbreak apps.

Now that you know how to show Wi-Fi passwords on your iPhone, you can easily retrieve them whenever needed. Whether it’s sharing the password with a friend or connecting another device, these methods will save you time and effort.
