1. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
2. Tap the i icon next to your connected network.
3. Tap Password.
4. Authenticate using Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode.
5. Your saved Wi-Fi password will appear, and you can tap Copy to share it.

⚠️ If you’re using iOS 15 or earlier, this option won’t be available—you’ll need to use a Mac.

3. Double-click the network.
4. Check Show password.
5. Enter your Mac’s administrator password when prompted.

Find Wi-Fi Password Through Your Router Settings

If the other options don’t work, go straight to the source:

1. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
2. Tap the i icon next to your connected network.
3. Look for the Router IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1).
4. Open Safari and type that IP into the address bar.
5. Log in to your router (check the back of your router for default login info).
6. Navigate to the Wireless or Wi-Fi Settings section.
7. Your Wi-Fi password should be listed under Security Key, Wi-Fi Key, or Network Password.

💡 Don’t know the login? Try admin/admin or admin/password, or look up the default login for your router model online.

Why You Can’t See Wi-Fi Passwords Directly on Older iPhones

Apple restricts access to Wi-Fi passwords on devices running iOS 15 or earlier to protect your network security. The only exception is the Personal Hotspot password. If you need full password visibility, update to iOS 16 or use iCloud Keychain on a Mac.
