Is Wi-Fi password visibility disabled in iOS 17 Update?

Come on guys, when did everyone turn into luddites? You’re all In the wrong place. You go to the WiFi section in settings - tap Edit in the top right - all of your networks now pop up, hit the (i) informations about said network, and voila, password. You’re welcome

Nicole, if you know the password to the WiFi network you are currently on, can you try forgetting that network and then re-joining by typing the password?

I found that most of my networks I have joined by sharing passwords. I just did these steps for my home network and now I can see the password.

I was having this problem, but solved it by turning off the “private wifi address” toggle, turning it back on and the reconnecting to the shared WiFi address. For some reason then the password field started showing again!

I can confirm exactly the same behavior: if a password is shared with me then it isn’t visible, but if it’s typed in manually then it’s visible. Seems like a bug. Since all passwords are visible on MacOS anyway, I don’t see how this could be silently addressing some security concern (since in this case it should be addressed on all platforms at once) - so most likely a bug. Apple, please fix it!

They aren’t a screen too far _ the password field should appear under auto join.

THIS WORKS!

DELETE THE WI-FI AND RECONNECT MANUALLY ENTERING THE PASSWORD AND IT IS VISIBLE!!

I had the same issue, but was able to see other saved wifi passwords. All of the passwords that I couldn’t see were shared to me, not manually entered. Could that be your issue?

OP (and others) can’t see the menu option for ‘password’ to tap as it isn’t visible after update to iOS17.

This seems to be only for passwords//networks shared, not all.

It’s a frustrating update as it doesn’t cater for a user granted shared wifi access needing to add additional devices to the (previously shared) wifi.

Eg staying a friends house, wifi password shared to IOS then later wanting to connect PC laptop or game system to same shared wifi network.

I am updated to ios18. Visiting with a friend who shared their password to my iPhone but my iPhone doesn’t show the password. On iPad where I loaded the password manually I can see it. This must be an unannounced security feature which is frankly stupid! Especially as the share password feature isn’t available it seems to share a password that was shared with you and sometimes we need the password for more than just iPhone connectivity

Based on your screenshot, you're one screen too far.

If your password has been entered via another device it won’t show. Choose “forget this network” and then re connect entering password manually. It will then show on info button

I have seen this behavior too, but what is strange is that on iOS I can see passwords to about half my known WiFi networks, while on MacOS I can see them all—something that seems even stranger as iCloud syncs the names and passwords of known WiFi networks.

The problem is that the (i) button doesn't open a separate area with the password anymore. It navigates to the same wifi info page as if you tap anywhere else on the row. I can't find any other view/area that has the password anymore.
