Iphone 6 won't connect to wifi .. Says incorrect password which is not true. Ideas???

I stayed up all night figuring this out and it finally worked. However, the apple support, nor my WiFi provider knew what to do. They are no help, and I agree with most of these posts, these products are too expensive to get such poor customer assistance. I hope my resolution helps... so here goes!

All you have to do is change the name of your network and the the pass code. I did this simply by just adding a number to the end of the current network name and the same number to the end of the pass code so it would be easily remembered. This will change nothing else. Unfortunately, everyone else will have to sign on again, but your devices will immediately pick up the new network name and it will work!

The hard part is that this has to be done through your IP address ( this information can be found under your network settings right on your computer under details), so you go to the internet and type in your IPV 4 router address just like you would type in a url, and it will take you to your server website.There you should have access to your WiFi settings to change this. However, it may ask you for a user name and a passcode to get access to your setting, and worst case scenario is you have to call your WiFi provider to help you out with this part, but whatever you do do not reset everything as this is what your provider will suggest..... That would be a nightmare. Just change the name of the network and the pass code, and it will work! I really hope this helps!

Re-boot your router. Only thing that works with our network. Only happens with an iphone6 no other bit of kit.

i had this too after reformating my iph6+. after unpluging and replugging my router the phone took the password. weird.

Not weird, expected. You rebooted the router. Just like you reboot your computer or your phone when it misbehaves. A router is a computer also. (Practically everything is a computer today.)

You can reset your network settings on your phone. I have had the same problem in the past. You will want to make sure you only reset network settings and not your entire phone.

Unplugging the router worked for us too. 🙂

Wifi password is saying in correct.but iam putting correct.so please give me the solution?

This worked for me, too, thank you!

Thanks for the tips. Didn't work for us either, however. 😟

there could be several things causing this, I will make the assumption your password is correct and works on other device too.

• Make sure your are connecting to WPA2 network
• Renew your lease with the router
• Logging to router and change the password

I have the same problem every time I shut off my iPhone 6 or 6 plus! I have a wifi connection and I have the correct password. But as soon as I shut my iphone to reset it when I turn it back on I lose my wifi and unless I reset the router and modem I can't get my wifi. It says password not correct. And I know it is because as soon as I reset the modem it reconnects. And it doesn't even ask me for my password. It just connects automatically. Can someone help me as to answering WHY IT DOES THIS? It should not lock my wifi connection and it should accept my password without me having to shut down my router and modem!!!!! Apple stinks! They have more issues than issues! Every time they come out with a new phone they have so many fixes and updates. Don't these IT people test their phones before they release them or are they just too anxious to MAKE MONEY!

It wasn't your iPad. It's a glitch I think! Because whenever I turn off my iphone. Totally shut it off I lose my wifi connection and even though I KNOW I AM PUTTING IN MY CORRECT PASSWORD IT SAYS INVALID AND THERES A LOCK NEXT TO MY NETWORK AND IT WONT LET ME JOIN MY NETWORK UNLESS I REBOOT MY ROUTER AND MODEM!!!! Then it reconnects instantly. Doesn't even ask me for my password. It just connects. Does anyone else have this problem? If so is there a fix or setting I can use so I don't have to go through this every time I shut my phone off? I hate APPLE. THEY HAVE WAY TOO MANY ISSUES. I THINK THE IT PEOPLE DONT CK THEIR PRODUCT UNTIL ITS TOO LATE THEN WE HAVE ALL THESE IOS UPDATES AND BUG FIXES. THEY NEED TO TEST THE PHONES FIRST BEFORE THEY RELEASE THEM. ITS SO ANNOYING. HELP. ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM? If so what do I do? I don't want to have to reboot every time I shut my phone. It should come up on my wifi and allow me to put in my password without rebooting!!!!!!

Same here! Seems whenever I totally turn off my iPhone 6 Plus at home I lose my wifi connection and even though I KNOW I AM PUTTING IN MY CORRECT PASSWORD IT SAYS INVALID AND THERES A LOCK NEXT TO MY NETWORK AND IT WONT LET ME JOIN MY NETWORK UNLESS I REBOOT MY ROUTER AND MODEM!!!! Then it reconnects instantly. Doesn't even ask me for my password. It just connects. Does anyone else have this problem? If so is there a fix or setting I can use so I don't have to go through this every time I shut my phone off? I hate This! Apple NEEDS TO TEST THE PHONES FIRST BEFORE THEY RELEASE THEM. ITS SO ANNOYING. HELP. ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM? If so what do I do? I don't want to have to reboot every time I shut my phone. It should come up on my wifi and allow me to put in my password without rebooting!!!!!! Am I doing something wrong? Or is this another Apple issue?

You're absolutely right. Just replace your cheapo router with one that actually works.

Yes it is an issue, you need to go into settings, then general then reset, then reset network settInga, thia will then reboot the phone, connect and use password and it works with my expensive router that isn't the fault.
