Q: is there a way to connect to wifi when the iphone 5s refuses to recognize the password
My phone started dropping wifi connection a couple of weeks ago and now will not connect at all to my home wifi, always asking for password and then refusing to accept it. This may be an issue with the most recent software update as I did not have problems before.
iPhone 5s, iOS 9.3.2, wifi connection issues

Hello.
Have you tried to reset network settings? You can do this by going to Settings, choose General and tap Reset Network Settings. Then connect to the Wi-Fi again.
If it doesn't help, you can try to switch on Airplane mode: temporarily switch on Airplane mode and then turn it off to see if the Wi-Fi issues be solved. Swipe up from the bottom to bring the Control Center > Toggle Airplane mode on for 10 seconds > Toggle it to off.
This step can also help you: disable Wi-Fi Networking in System Service:
Go to Settings, choose Privacy, tap Location Services, tap System Services, turn off Wi-Fi Networking. This does not turn off wireless networking in iOS entirely, only relates to your location being used for Wi-Fi Networking.
As a final step:
Change DNS Settings to Google: Settings > Wi-Fi > Tap on the (I) button to the right of the router name, then scroll down to DNS and tap the numbers, then enter "8.8.8.8".
