Discovering WiFi passwords on your iPhone is a real game-changer. Usually, your phone does the heavy lifting, remembering all those passwords for the WiFi networks you use. It's fantastic – you move from WiFi to cellular data and back seamlessly. But, there are moments when you actually need to know what that password is.
Picture this: your iPhone refuses to connect to WiFi, and you need to type in the password again. Or, you're trying to hook up another gadget to the network, or maybe you just want to share the WiFi code with a friend. If you're clueless about finding those saved passwords, you could end up stuck offline. The good news is, there are a few tricks up your sleeve to unveil those hidden login details and keep yourself surfing the waves of the internet.
Locate your iOS version
Begin by locating your iOS version. The simplicity or complexity of uncovering WiFi passwords on your iPhone relies on your iOS version. To check this, go to your iPhone's Settings, tap on General, then choose About. Look for the iOS version there. If you're using iOS 16 or a newer version, you have the ability to view WiFi passwords for your current network and any networks you've connected to previously.
For older iOS versions, getting those WiFi passwords is a tad trickier. You'll need to dive into the router settings of the WiFi network, and that requires knowing the router's admin username and password. Plus, since you have to be on the network to access the router, iPhones with older iOS versions won't help you retrieve passwords for networks you've connected to before.
