Is there a way to disable revealing the Wi-Fi password on an iPhone?

You don't give anyone the Passcode to your device. With the Passcode, it would give a person access to any of your Passwords including your WiFi Password. If someone knows your Passcode, there is a lot more damage that can be done besides just viewing your WiFi Password, so change it now.

Set a passcode on iPhone - Apple Support

To prevent access with Family Sharing, I would recommend to send feedback to Apple. The Organizer of the plan could have an option to use Screen Time Restrictions to prevent another member from being able to access the WiFi Password. Of course you would have to join the network yourself on their device before setting the restriction to prevent access. That does not seem unreasonable.

Since there is not a specific Family Sharing/Screen Time section for Feedback, I would recommend to choose your iPhone and then under Feedback Type, select Feature Request. Follow that with the explanation to provide a Screen Time option to prevent viewing/sharing the WiFi Password and for the legitimate reasons you described.

Not Revealing the WiFi Password:

The only way to not show it 100% would be to use a Profile. It would not be accessible. When you want to access it again, turn OFF the Profile.

1. Go Here: Intro to Device Management Profiles - Apple Support
2. As it Reads: Capabilities include updating software and device settings

"Just seems that the wifi password should be known to whomever controls the router/wifi setup.: A remedial user of the network might be convinced to give out the password to someone who now has access to the network."

-------

Let the Network Administrator do their thing:

As for the network itself, this hacker would need the Administrator name and password. The Default Gateway would be used. If someone were to give it out, then change the password, then that would be a bit unsafe. So, change the password, if you think it has been hacked --everyone would have to change the password. And, if that's not bad enough, then get a new router. With a Static, rather than Dynamic, password, each user would be assigned their own user and password --you'd make each a standard user with their own password, and would do the same for the Administrator user.

Turn Off the SSID Broadcast:

While in the settings of the router, you might have the option to choose not to broadcast the SSID (the name of the network). Anyone getting in would have to know the SSID, or else they couldn't log in.
