DoubtUser Concern

“I've previously connected to a WiFi network on my iPhone but I have no way of finding out the password. So is there any way to view saved WiFi password on  iPhone?”

iPhone stores the password of a WiFi network that you have connected to. Once you connect your iPhone to a WiFi network with password, you will not be required to enter the password the next time you connect to that same network unless the password gets changed.

What if you want to connect a new device to the WiFi network but you don't know the password? Well, in this article, we will show you some simple steps on how to find WiFi password on iPhone.

Step 2: Copy your rooter's IP address and paste it in your browser address box. Visit the address and an interface to log in will be displayed.
