Iphone 12 to see existing wifi Passwords

NOT seeing the WiFi password field from Edit mode and using the info button. That field is not visible at all so can NOT view or copy PW on an existing WiFi. The connecting to internet works yet not the view or copy option

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 18

Your tag line suggests you have iOS 18. So, I'm not sure you understood Electromagnetic's response to you. When iOS 18 was released, all your saved passwords, including Wifi passwords were saved to the new Passwords app, which was downloaded to your iPhone with the iOS 18 update. Did you open the Passwords app and then tap Wifi to look for the passwords you want to know?

I see that your question says you're using iOS 18, do you have the Passwords app? If you do, can you confirm if your Wi-Fi network's password has been saved by opening the Passwords app, then tapping Wi-Fi? If an entry has a password, you can tap on the Password field to reveal it.


See this Apple Support Article: Find your saved Wi-Fi passwords on iPhone or iPad - Apple Support below the "In iOS 18, you can also use the Passwords app to find, copy, and share Wi-Fi passwords for networks that you previously joined" part.
