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

Since updating there is no longer a Password section in the information for the Wifi
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
The information page from following those instructions is what I shared a screenshot of, I used to be able to do exactly what you said to find the password and can no longer since updating my phone.
Tap ❮ Wi-Fi.
Then as posted:
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.
Based on your screenshot, you're one screen too far.
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
THIS WORKS!
DELETE THE WI-FI AND RECONNECT MANUALLY ENTERING THE PASSWORD AND IT IS VISIBLE!!
I’m also experiencing this problem
THANKY YOU!!!
I tried that and it didn’t work for me 🥲
I need more space
I do not think that is a bug, but security. When you have a shared password, you cannot pass it on to others. That would make sense. I would even disable that password after some hours or a day.
Why would you without asking them?
Hack wifi password
This worked for me! Thanks!
I’m experiencing the exact same. I can no longer see wifi password after update to iOS 17.6.1.
