How do I find my Wi-Fi password iPhone 5?

Answered by Douglas Hiatt

To find your Wi-Fi password on an iPhone 5, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to the Settings app on your iPhone 5. It looks like a gear icon and can usually be found on your home screen.

2. Scroll down and tap on “Wi-Fi”. This will show you a list of available Wi-Fi networks.

3. Look for the Wi-Fi network that you are currently connected to. It will have a checkmark next to it.

4. Tap on the blue “i” icon next to the Wi-Fi network name. This will take you to the network details page.

5. On the network details page, you will see various information about the Wi-Fi network. Look for the “Password” field, which will display the password for the network.

If you are unable to see the password field, it could be because you are not connected to the Wi-Fi network. In this case, try connecting to the network first and then follow the steps above to find the password.

It’s worth mentioning that if your iPhone 5 is running an older version of iOS, the steps might be slightly different. However, the general process of finding the Wi-Fi password should be similar.

In addition to the above steps, you can also use the Keychain feature on your iPhone to find your Wi-Fi password. Keychain is a built-in password manager that securely stores your passwords and other sensitive information. To use Keychain to find your Wi-Fi password, follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone 5.

2. Scroll down and tap on “Passwords & Accounts”.

3. Tap on “Website & App Passwords”. You might need to authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode.

4. This will show you a list of saved passwords. Look for the Wi-Fi network name that you want to find the password for.

5. Tap on the network name, and it will reveal the password.

Please note that in order for Keychain to work, you need to have iCloud Keychain enabled on your iPhone. To enable it, go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Keychain, and toggle on the “iCloud Keychain” option.

I hope this helps you find your Wi-Fi password on your iPhone 5!
