Hi Lisa,
From that clarification it sounds as tough you're not seeing the prompt that allows you to share your Wi-Fi password from your iPhone as outlined in the following article.
How to share your Wi-Fi password from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If so, that is expected as your Mac is already connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and isn't requesting the password from your iPhone. There isn't a way to view passwords for other networks. Unless you have those network passwords saved in the Notes application, or elsewhere such as a document.
Have a great day.

Hello Lisa,
It sounds as though you're no longer seeing previously saved or Wi-Fi connections on your MacBook. To clarify, are you no longer seeing those connections in System Preferences > Network? If so, are you able to reconnect to the Wi-Fi Network, or are you having issues connecting to Wi-Fi with your Mac?
If you're having issues connecting to the Wi-Fi network the following article may help with resolving the issue.

If you're having a different issue please let us know in more detail about the issue you're facing.
Have a great day!
My phone syncs with my Mac and I was always able to view saved Wi-Fi passwords from other places. The actual Wi-Fi connections are showing up but I have no way of viewing with the passwords are.
Open the Safari in iPhone and Safari on MacBook at the same time and on the same Wifi Network. Keep it that way for 3 - 4 minutes and see of Wifi Networks from iPhone sync to Macbook
The networks are there, I’m trying to retrieve the passwords 😊 (not my own)
Thank you, I thought I used to be able to view other Wi-Fi passwords that I had stored on my phone and Mac previously.
