How to Check WiFi Password on an iPhone
It will help you to quickly check your Wi-Fi password to stay connected and help others connect too.
I can’t recall how many times someone has asked me, “What’s the Wi‑Fi password here?”—only for me to draw a complete blank. I know my iPhone is connected, the internet works fine, but the actual password? No clue. Whether it’s at home, your office, a relative’s house, or even your favorite café, the days of flipping over routers or digging through screenshots are finally behind us.
If you're running iOS 16 or later, Apple has finally made it simple to see saved Wi‑Fi passwords right from your iPhone settings. No more awkward calls to your ISP or relying on your techy cousin to dig it out.
It’s especially helpful when setting up a new device, helping a friend connect, or troubleshooting connection issues. Here's how to view those hidden passwords in just a few taps.
Steps to View WiFi Password on iPhone
Step 1: Open the Settings app and "Wi‑Fi"
Step 2: Then, tap the Info icon next to the WiFi network you're currently connected to or have previously connected to before
Step 3: Tap the Password field—it’s hidden by dots until you authenticate
Step 4: Use Face ID to confirm, and the actual password will appear. Then, you will be able to copy the password
Conclusion

Plus, once you know where to find it, it becomes one of those little time-savers that just make your iPhone feel smarter. So next time someone asks, “Do you have the Wi‑Fi password?”—you’ll be ready, no stress, no scrambling.
