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

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.

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!

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.

Same here... I can no longer view my password from the WiFi Settings info button. WTF Apple?

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

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.

Go to -> Settings -> tap Wi-Fi -> tap the i -> then scroll to & tap Password -> enter your Passcode -> you will then see the Wi-Fi Password.

I don’t remember the password! That’s the problem, I was always able to just copy/paste it

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

Nope — didn’t work for me.

I remember not so long ago when we could when we could "tap on the password field" to see our wifi password. Those were the good old days.

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!

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.

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

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
