How can I see the WiFi password my iPhone is using?

My iPhone is connected to my home network. I'm setting a new computer up with Windows, and it's asking me for the WiFi password.

If I don't want to go in a different part of the house to look for it, can I find what the WiFi network's password is from my iPhone?


Solution 1:

Apple doesn't provide a way to directly view the wifi password. There's 2 ways to do this:

  1. Sync passwords via iCloud Keychain and use your Mac's Keychain application to view the password.
  2. Jailbreak your iPhone and use the available apps to access and display the password.

There's other ways that don't involve the iPhone, such as logging into your wifi router (from your iPhone or other device browser) to access the password, but per our comment discussion, this is something you're not looking for right now.
