How to know the Wi-Fi password to which we are connected from our iPhone, iPad or Mac

Thanks to the fact that our devices save the passwords of the Wi-Fi networks to which we connect, the most common is that, once logged in the first time, let’s forget about it. And when someone asks us for the password of the network to which we are connected? We have several options.

We leave out the fact that if that person has an Apple device, we can directly share the password. And we leave it out because, although the other person can connect to the network, we still won’t know the password itself

Consult the password of any network to which we are

As we say, sharing the network password is really useful and in many cases more comfortable than other options, but it will not tell us the password. A password that we may need to send to another person by message, for example, or to Telling someone not to use an Apple device.

Fortunately, in macOS Ventura and iPadOS and iOS 16 we can consult the password of the network to which we are connected directly from our iPhone, iPad or Mac

1. We open the application Settings on our iPhone or iPad.
2. We entered Wireless.
3. We touch the “i” next to the name of the network to which we are connected.
4. we play in Password.
5. We identify ourselves with Face ID or Touch ID.
6. If we wish, we touch the button Copy to save the password to the clipboard.

See the password of the Wi-Fi network to which we are connected from macOS Ventura it’s just as easyalthough the steps are slightly different. Specifically, they are these:

1. In the Apple menu () we choose System Parameters.
2. In the left sidebar we select Wireless.
3. We touch the button in the form of three dots next to the name of the network under “Known networks”.
4. we choose copy password.

Now we only have paste the password where we need to see it written or send it who it is needed. Also note that here we can check the password of any network, not just the one we are using at a specific time.

Just as we can see who is connected to your Wi-Fi network from the iPhone, checking the password of the Wi-Fi network in which we are is very simple. Thanks to this, we can communicate it to anyone who needs it or write it down for future consultation. A resource we can use both on our iPhone and iPad and on our Mac whenever we need it.
