How to Find WiFi Password on iPhone/iPad Without Jailbreak

For iPhone/iPad without jailbreak, there are two methods to get Wi-Fi password from iPhone.

1. Find Wi-Fi Password on iPhone via Router Settings
2. Show iPhone Wi-Fi Password on Mac via iCloud Keychain Sync
3. Share Wi-Fi on iPhone

1. Find Wi-Fi Password on iPhone via Router Settings
This method attempts to find the IP address of the Wi-Fi router and log in to its settings section to view the router's password. Though this method is not one hundred percent feasible, it is still worth a try.

-Go to Settings > Wi-Fi, find the Wi-Fi name which you would like to check the password, click on the "i" icon next to it.
-Copy the IP address in the router section, then open the Safari browser and paste the IP address. Hit enter and a login panel page will be open.
-Login with the default username and password of your router. The default username and password are usually both "admin". But "admin" doesn't work, you should search online for the default password of your router, for example, search "default password for (your router name) router model".
-After logging in, go to "wireless setup" or "wireless settings"' to view the iPhone Wi-Fi password.

Note: If the network administrator has changed the router settings and passwords, this method won't work.

2. Show iPhone Wi-Fi Password on Mac via iCloud Keychain Sync
If you have logged in the same iCloud account on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, you can use iCloud Keychain to sync Wi-Fi passwords on your iPhone/iPad with your Mac and view them in the Keychain app.

- On your iPhone's or iPad's home screen, go to Settings > iCloud > Keychain. Enable the iCloud Keychain feature. Then go back to Settings and turn on Personal Hotspot.

- On your Mac, connect to iPhone's/iPad's Personal Hotpot. Then use Spotlight to open "Keychain Access". Find the Wi-Fi network that iPhone is connected and click the "show password" option to see the password

3. Share Wi-Fi on iPhone
If your iPhone or iPad is running iOS 11 and above, you can share the password to your network with other Apple devices. It is a good way to add a new device to a network if you couldn't get the password from your iPhone. For example, if you are using iPhone and want to share its Wi-Fi network with your friend's iPad, you can follow the steps here：

-Add your friend to your contacts list. Go to Contacts on your iPhone, and tap Add. Enter iCloud username and password for your friend and tap Done. And your friend should also add your iCloud account on his/her device.
-Turn on Bluetooth on both your iPhone and your friend's iPad
-On your friend's iPad, tap Settings> Wi-Fi and tap the name of your Wi-Fi network. A password box appears on the iPad, while a piece of message pops up on your iPhone.
-Tap Share Password on the iPhone and the iPad will be connected to the password.
