apple watch wifi that requires username and password At work, my wifi requires a username and password. The apple watch (7) instructions say that if my iphone is connected to a wifi, my watch will be able to also connect to that same wifi automatically. However, this is not the case. My watch will not connect to the work wifi despite my iphone being connected. At home on my "regular" wifi, my watch automatically connects without me needing to type in a password after my iphone was connected to the wifi. I can directly sign into the work wifi on the watch by typing into the watch my username and password. However, if i disconnect, in order to re-connect, I have to type in my username and password again. My watch will not save the password. Furthermore, even if my watch is connect to my work wifi, and my phone is connect to this same wifi, my watch and phone will not communicate over the wifi. There is no problem communicating using only wifi when I am on my home wifi network. My questions are: 1) how can i get my watch to connect to my work wifi after my phone is already connected to this work wifi? 2) how do i save my work username/password on my apple watch so I don't need to type it in everytime i want to connect to my work wifi? 3) how do i get my apple watch and iphone to communicate over my work wifi. It works fine on home wifi, but not on my work wifi? Thank you

Apple Watch 6 - WiFi connection Can the Apple Watch 6 connect to a separate wifi network? For example if I am out for a walk and my watch does not have a Cellular connection and I do not have my iPhone with me, can I still connect my watch to a random wifi network?

If you are sharing your Keychain via iCloud, then WiFi passwords are shared with other Apple devices.
