Annoying Iphone constantly offering to share wifi password

Warning problem started again, having connected to a network in a place I will not return to, message constantly popping up asking if I want to share the password for the network with my other Apple Devices. Annoying!! Cannot 'Forget" a network the phone can no longer see. Any solutions to this?

Restart

Try restarting your iOS device. Here's how to restart your iPhoneiPad, or iPod touch.

Then restart your router, and cable or DSL modem. To restart your router or modem, unplug it, then plug it back in. 

After you restart each device, see if you fixed the issue.

  

Still have the issue?

Reset your Network Settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you’ve used before.

Many thanks. Already done the first - no change. Second, this is kind of crazy - then I have to go and ask for all of the network passwords at offices/restaurants/etc.


There is clearly an issue here in the latest iOS release. It has only just started since the latest update.


Is thre no way to selectively remove a single network as on the Mac?
