Where are Wi-Fi passwords saved?
Wi-Fi passwords are typically saved on the devices that connect to a specific Wi-Fi network. On a device running on the iOS 16 operating system, such as the latest iPhone 14 models, Wi-Fi passwords are stored in the device’s Keychain. The Keychain is the encrypted database where iOS stores various sensitive information like passwords, certificates, and cryptographic keys. By saving Wi-Fi passwords in the Keychain, iOS ensures that the passwords are securely stored and easily accessible whenever the device needs to connect to a known Wi-Fi network. This allows users to avoid the hassle of re-entering the password every time they want to join a Wi-Fi network they have previously connected to. Additionally, the Keychain is synchronized across a user’s Apple devices, ensuring that the Wi-Fi passwords are readily available on all the devices associated with the same Apple ID.
How do I find my Wi-Fi password on my iPhone?
To find your Wi-Fi password on an iPhone running iOS 16, follow these steps:
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap on "Wi-Fi".
3. Find the Wi-Fi network you are connected to and tap on the information (i) icon next to it.
4. On the Wi-Fi network details screen, you will see various information, including your IP address and Router.
5. Tap on "Manage Router" to open your router’s settings page in Safari.

7. Once logged in to your router, navigate to the Wi-Fi settings or Wireless settings section.
8. Look for the wireless network password or passphrase field. The exact wording may vary depending on your router model.
9. The Wi-Fi password should be displayed in the password field or similar area.
10. Take note of the password or use the copy function to copy it to your iPhone’s clipboard.
Please note that the method outlined above assumes you have access to your router’s settings. If you do not have access or are using a public Wi-Fi network, you may need to reach out to the network administrator or service provider for assistance in retrieving the Wi-Fi password.

Alternatively, you can use a dedicated QR code scanner app from the Google Play Store. Simply install and open the app, then use the scanner feature within the app to scan the QR code. If it recognizes the QR code as a Wi-Fi network, it will provide you with an option to connect to it.
Please note that the availability and steps may vary slightly depending on your Android device’s manufacturer and the version of Android you are running.
Can you retrieve a Wi-Fi password?
As a tech blogger, I can provide information regarding retrieving Wi-Fi passwords. If you have forgotten the password for a Wi-Fi network you have previously connected to, there are a few methods you can try to retrieve it.
1. Check the Router: Many routers have the Wi-Fi password printed on a label on the device itself. Look for a sticker or tag containing the network name (SSID) and password.
2. Router Settings: You can access your router’s settings by entering the router’s IP address in a web browser. Once logged in, navigate to the Wireless or Security section to find the Wi-Fi password. Note that the process may vary depending on the router model and manufacturer.
3. Saved on Connected Devices: If your device is already connected to the Wi-Fi network in question, you may be able to retrieve the password from its settings. On mobile devices running iOS (such as iPhone 14 with iOS 16), you can often find the saved Wi-Fi password in the device’s Settings app, under Wi-Fi > Network Name > Share Password. On Windows or Mac computers, you can access the saved Wi-Fi passwords through the operating system’s network settings.
4. Third-Party Tools: There are certain third-party software tools available that claim to help retrieve Wi-Fi passwords. However, it’s essential to exercise caution and perform thorough research before downloading and using any such tools to ensure they are reputable and trustworthy.
Remember that accessing someone else’s Wi-Fi network without permission is illegal and unethical. Use these methods only for networks you have legitimate access to or for your own network in case you’ve forgotten the password.
