Life was still every day, then suddenly, a new colleague asked me, “What is the company WiFi password?”. If we encounter this situation and do not remember the WiFi password, we will usually ask other people, wasting time but not being professional. So this article by Lucid Gen will show you a small trick to see WiFi passwords on iPhone, iPad, and Mac professionally and quickly.
How to see WiFi passwords on iPhone and iPad
iOS devices will have nearly the same interface. Therefore, the way to see WiFi passwords on iPhones and iPads is similar.
Note that you must be from iOS 16 or later to see WiFi passwords on your iPhone or iPad (notice from Apple). Anyone still on iOS 15 or below, please upgrade.
| IOS | 16 and up |
| Connected WiFi | See by Settings |
| macOS | All version |
See connected WiFi passwords
We do not need to install an additional app to see the connected WiFi passwords on the iPhone. Go to Settings > WiFi> click the “i” letter on the connected WiFi> click on the password info field to see WiFi passwords on your iPhone or iPad.
See all connected WiFi passwords
You can see all the WiFi passwords that your iPhone has ever connected to. This situation can happen, for example, when you can’t connect to that WiFi network but still want to send someone the password.
On the WiFi connection page, you need to go to Edit > click the “i” letter button on the WiFi that you need to see the password > click on the password information field to copy the WiFi password.
How to see WiFi passwords on Mac
If you are using a Mac, you don’t need to take out your phone. You need to follow these steps to see WiFi passwords on Mac.
Step 1: Find the Keychain Access application (where the credentials are stored). You open Spotlight search with Command and Space, then find Keychain Access. This is the fastest way if you don’t know where Keychain Access is.
Step 2: See WiFi passwords on Mac. You enter the WiFi name in the search bar; after having the results, right-click on the WiFi name and select copy password.
When Keychain Access asks for a password, enter the password to open your Mac.
Conclusion
Back to the story with the colleague at the beginning of the article, if you already know how to see WiFi passwords on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you can answer him in 2 to 3 swipes. I wish you a good day!
I was puzzled not finding the “exclamation mark” to click on (“click the exclamation button on the WiFi”). Then I realizad you probably mean what seems to be the letter “i” (information).
Thanks for the advice
