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 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 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?

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 don’t have the password as it was shared with me. So I cannot type it manually. I need it for another device… frustrated

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

THANK YOU GZ49! That trick works and is the only answer that solved the challenge 🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏

And as per the other participants - yes, Apple please fix this bug!

go to the passwords app and click on the wifi option,then search for the network your connected to and ittl look just how it did last update,verify with face id then ittl show u the password!

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.
