Since updating to iOS17 I am no longer able to view the wifi password for a network that I am currently connected to. Is there a reason for that?

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
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 took this photo from my iPhone which is on iOS 17.3. NOT iOS 17. I just want to make sure we are all on the same iOS in this discussion.
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.)
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).
Nothing on this page explains or helps resolve the issue. I still cannot see a password field for wifi logins
Yes, apple please fix this. This was not an issue in IOS 16.

I’ve done all available updates and I still cannot see the wifi passwords. My only available updates are to 17.2.1
maybe because I’m in Canada? I don’t have access to 17.3 yet
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!
I’m also experiencing this problem
THANKY YOU!!!
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 tried that and it didn’t work for me 🥲
If you happen to know the password that is all good. In my case it was shared with me, so I don’t know it.
I don’t remember the password! That’s the problem, I was always able to just copy/paste it
Is Wi-Fi password visibility disabled in iOS 17 Update?
