How to Share Wi-Fi Password on an iPhone, Mac, or iPad

It is very simple to share Wi-Fi passwords between Apple devices, but you must have the other person’s email address stored in your Contacts and vice versa. Also, ensure that both your devices are running either the most recent versions of iOS, macOS, iPadOS or High Sierra.

1. Enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on both devices (personal hotspot off). Make sure both devices are nearby to each other, in range of the Wi-Fi network you want to share, and unlocked.
2. Ask the other person to select the Wi-Fi network you want to share on their device.
3. On your device, a pop-up window will appear asking if you wish to share the Wi-Fi password.
4. Tap “Share Password” to finish.

How to Share Wi-Fi Password on an Android Device

If your device is running Android 10 or later, you can use a QR code to share your Wi-Fi password.

Note: The instructions below may differ slightly depending on your device and which version of Android you have installed.

1. Connect your device to the Wi-Fi network you want to share.
2. Open the Settings app > Network and Internet (or Connections) > Wi-Fi.
3. Tap on the gear icon next to the Wi-Fi network.
4. Tap QR Code (or the share icon). A QR code will appear on the screen.
5. Ask the other person to scan the QR code on their device to connect to the Wi-Fi network.

How to Find Wi-Fi Password on Windows

2. Select Wireless Properties.

3. Go to the Security tab and click the checkbox next to “Show characters” to see the Network security key (password).
