WiFi passwords are easy to forget, especially because we tend to have them saved on our devices. Most devices including the iPhone save the passwords so they can automatically connect to your network when you’re in range. The problem occurs when you want to connect a new device to your network but you can’t recall the WiFi password. One of the ways to find your WiFi password is to see if you’ve noted it down somewhere. It’s something not most of us do and you’ll likely not have it saved anywhere. In that case, your existing device like your iPhone can help you find the password. When you connect your iPhone to a WiFi network, it saves the WiFi password for you.
