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

Nothing on this page explains or helps resolve the issue. I still cannot see a password field for wifi logins

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 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!

Yes, apple please fix this. This was not an issue in IOS 16.

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?

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 am having exactly the same frustrations. I just updated from 17.1.2 to 17.3.1 and it did not solve the problem.

My wife is not yet updated to 17 and she has the password field visible (despite having acquired it by sharing).

Did you read the OP and see the picture at the start of the thread? This thread is exactly because they are not there in OS17

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.

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.

Carol, you seem to have missed the point: the issue with the passwords that were *shared* with you, not with the one you typed yourself. Also, when people say iOS 17, they don't usually refer to iOS 17.0 - they refer to any version with the major number being 17 (i.e. 17.0, 17.1, etc.)

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

My iPhone is on iOS 17.3. I can see my password by selecting Settings > WiFi then tapping the "i" to the right of that name. Your password will show up as a series of dots.

Tap those dots, and your password will appear. Please note: I am not on iOS 17. I am updated to 17.3. Please try updating your iPhone by selecting Settings > General > Software Update. Follow the prompts to update. Once done, try looking for the password using my steps again.
