Part 1. Can You See WiFi Password on iPhone?

Whether you can see the WiFi password on your iPhone largely depends on which iOS version you're using. On older versions before iOS 16, Apple did not provide any built‑in way to view the password of a WiFi network after you had connected to it. Starting with iOS 16, Apple introduced a native option to view and copy saved WiFi passwords directly in the Settings app. On even newer versions like iOS 17 and iOS 18, Apple has continued to refine this experience, making it easier to manage and share WiFi passwords across your devices.

In the following sections, we will show you exactly how to check WiFi passwords on iPhone and provide an all-in-one solution to find WiFi passwords on both newer and older iOS versions.

Part 2. How to Find WiFi Password on iPhone

If your iPhone and iOS version support viewing saved WiFi passwords, there are several ways to access them. Even if one option isn't available on your device, you can usually try another to get the password you need.

Method 1. Access iPhone WiFi Password in Settings [iOS 16+]

This is the most direct way to see WiFi passwords on an iPhone running iOS 16 or later. You can view the password for the network you're currently connected to, as well as other saved networks.

Current connected WiFi password:

Step 1. Open iPhone Settings and tap WLAN.

Step 2. Tap the WiFi you are currently connected to.

Step 3. Tap the Password field, and enter your iPhone passcode to see the WiFi password.

All WiFi passwords:

Step 1. Open iPhone Settings and tap WLAN.

Step 2. Tap Edit, and enter the iPhone passcode to access all previously connected passwords on this iPhone.

Step 3. Tap the i icon of the WiFi you want to view, then tap the Password area to check the password.

Method 2. Access iPhone WiFi Password in Passwords App [iOS 18+]

On iOS 18 and later, Apple launches the Passwords app to help centralize your saved passwords on iPhone, including WiFi passwords. You can find any WiFi passwords you have connected to before in the app.

Step 1. Open the Passwords app and unlock with your Face ID or iPhone passcode.

Step 2. Access Wi-Fi, and here you can see all saved WiFi passwords on your iPhone.

Step 3. You can directly search for the network name to find a WiFi.

Step 4. Tap the network, then tap the Password field to view the WiFi password.

Method 3. Access iPhone WiFi Password in Keychain Access [Mac]

If you use a Mac with the same Apple ID and have iCloud Keychain enabled, your WiFi passwords can sync between your iPhone and Mac. With Keychain Access on macOS, you can look up saved WiFi entries, reveal their passwords, and then use or share them from your computer.

Step 1. Open Keychain Access on your Mac.

Step 2. Type network to filter the network passwords or directly search for the network name you want to check.

Step 3. Double-click the result and check Show password.

Step 4. Enter your login credentials to see the WiFi password.

Method 4. Access iPhone WiFi Password on Router Admin Page

Besides the Apple-built-in methods to access the WiFi password on the iPhone, you can also find a WiFi password from the router's admin page. But this requires the administrator password, so it's only available if you have administrator access.

Step 1. Go to iPhone Settings > WLAN.

Step 2. Copy the router address of one saved WiFi and load it in the browser.

Step 3. Enter the administrator password, and then you can check the WiFi password.
