If you need to share your Wi-Fi password so you can get a connection on your iPhone, you can easily do it between your Apple devices.
Sharing Wi-Fi From Mac to iPhone
In order to effectively share your Wi-Fi password between an iPhone and Mac, make sure that the Mac is running macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later. Also, update the device to the latest software.
You will also need to be signed in to an iCloud account using your Apple ID on each device, according to HowtoGeek.
If you are using devices with different iCloud accounts, make sure that each person has the other person's address in their contacts on the phone or laptop.
Once the section mentioned above has been completed, turn on the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on your iPhone and your Mac.
Turn off any personal hotspots you might have activated on either device. Physically place the Mac and iPhone within 20 feet, according to LifeWire.
Sign in to the Mac and make sure that it is connected to the Wi-Fi network whose password you want to share with the iPhone, then hold your phone near your laptop. On the iPhone, open the Settings app and click on Wi-Fi.
In the list of Wi-Fi networks, tap on the name of the network you want to connect to. If all of it goes well, you will see "W-Fi Password" on your screen on your laptop.
It will ask you if you want to share the password of your Wi-Fi hotspot with the iPhone and tap on Share. The Mac will transmit the Wi-Fi network password to your phone, and your phone will connect to the network.
How to Find Your Wi-Fi On Your Computer
If your router is still using the username and password that is already saved, it should be easy to find. Modern Wi-Fi routers come with a default network name and password.
To find the default password, find your Wi-Fi router, and you should see a sticker somewhere on it that has both the SSID and the password, according to CNET.
If you have not changed the default password yet, you can use the password to connect effectively to the router. If you do not see a default password printed on the router, try looking at the documentation that came with it for more information.
Once you have connected to a Wi-Fi network from a Windows laptop or desktop, Windows will remember that Wi-Fi network's password.
You can look up the Wi-Fi password on any Windows computer that is currently connected to that Wi-Fi network or ones that are previously connected.
To look up the password for the Wi-Fi network you are currently connected to on Windows, go to the Network and Sharing Center in the Control Panel.
The fastest way to do this is by right-clicking on the Wireless Network icon in the taskbar and clicking Open Network and Sharing Center.
Windows also stores the Wi-Fi password of networks you have previously connected to. In Windows 7 and earlier, you can find these from the Network and Sharing Center, but in Windows 8 and 10, you need to use the command prompt.
