Find Your Connected Wi-Fi Password with Ease
An Updated Guide for iOS 11 and Beyond
Accessing Your Wi-Fi Password
Retrieving the password for your currently connected Wi-Fi network has become more nuanced with iOS 11. Unlike previous versions, where the password was readily available in the Wi-Fi settings, Apple has removed this direct access for security reasons.
However, there's a workaround that allows you to uncover your hidden Wi-Fi password. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Access Wi-Fi Settings
Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone or iPad. Tap on "Wi-Fi" to view the available networks.
Step 2: Locate Your Network
Find the name of the Wi-Fi network you're currently connected to in the list. Tap on it to access its details.
Step 3: Retrieve Password
Under "Network Name," you'll see a field labeled "Password." Unfortunately, the password will be obscured by dots. To reveal it, you'll need to access your iCloud account.
Make sure you're signed into iCloud on the device you're using. If not, tap on your Apple ID at the top of the Settings menu and sign in.
Once you're signed in, tap on the "Password" field for the Wi-Fi network. A pop-up window will appear with two options: "Show Password" and "Copy Password."
Select "Show Password." The device will prompt you to enter your iCloud password or use Face ID/Touch ID for authentication. Once verified, the password for the connected Wi-Fi network will be revealed.
Conclusion
While iOS 11 may have taken away the direct display of Wi-Fi passwords, this workaround allows you to easily retrieve them by using your iCloud account. By following these steps, you can ensure that your connected devices have access to the internet without any hassle.
