iPhone cannot directly view connected Wi-Fi passwords, but they can be obtained indirectly through the following methods: 1. Use iCloud Keychain Synchronization function to display the password in "Keychain Access" on your Mac, or view it through automatic fill on other devices with the same Apple ID; 2. Log in to the router management interface or use the supporting app to view the current Wi-Fi password; 3. System restrictions make iPhones not support direct display of passwords, and can only pass automatic fill verification. The above methods must meet specific conditions before they can be operated.

Apple phones (iPhones) themselves do not directly provide the ability to view connected Wi-Fi passwords, which are for privacy and security reasons. But if you have connected to a certain network with your iPhone and want to check this password now, there is actually a way, but it only requires some operational steps. Here are a few feasible methods.

1. Use iCloud Keychain to view passwords synchronously

If you enable iCloud Keychain and have other devices (such as Mac or iPad), you can view your Wi-Fi password through these devices.

• On Mac:

  
  • Open the Keychain Access app.
  • Select System Keychain on the left.
  • Find the Wi-Fi name (SSID) you want to view in the list.
  • Double-click it, check "Show Password" in the pop-up window, and you can see the corresponding password.

• On another iPad or iPhone:

  • Make sure you are also logged in to the same Apple ID and turn on the iCloud Keychain.
  • When connecting to the target Wi-Fi network, the system may prompt you to enter a password, and you can see the saved password through the autofill function.

?? Note: The premise of this method is that you have saved the password of the network on a certain device before and enabled keychain synchronization.

2. View through the connected router

If you are the owner of this Wi-Fi network, the easiest way is to directly view the router settings page:

• Open the browser and enter the router management interface address (usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 ).
• Enter the user name and password to log in (the default account password is generally admin/admin or see the instructions on the back of the router).
• Find the Wireless Settings section, which will display the currently set Wi-Fi password.

Tips: Nowadays, many new routers have matching apps, such as TP-Link Tether, Xiaomi Router, etc. You can also view or modify passwords directly in the app.

3. Reasons why you cannot view your password directly on your iPhone

In order to protect user privacy, Apple does not allow users to directly view saved Wi-Fi passwords by default. Even if you are the owner of this iPhone, you cannot view it directly through the settings menu like Android.

However, if you try to connect to a Wi-Fi network that has been connected to it, the iPhone will automatically fill in your password. Although the specific characters are not visible, this can verify that the password is still remembered.

Basically these are the methods. To sum up: iPhone itself cannot directly view Wi-Fi passwords, but you can use iCloud keychain or router background to obtain them indirectly. If it is inconvenient to operate a computer or router, you may need to ask someone else to help you enter your password.
