What’s going on with Apple’s WiFi sharing?

All of a sudden I got a message triggered to share WiFi acess with my boyfriend’s phone, I agreed and then our devices were removed from the WiFi network sequentially as we agreed to allow access for different devices on each device. Now when I try to connect to WiFi it says my password is icorrect. What’s the deal?

Iphone constantly asking if I want to share home wifi password My husband and I are constantly getting message asking if we want to share our (Comcast) Wi-Fi password with each other. We turned off "ask to join networks" but are still getting the message! This nonsense just started today and it's exasperating.

MacOS, iPadOS and iOS devices repeatedly asking if I want to share Wi-Fi password A new bug(?) drives me insane: every time I open my apple devices (starting a few days ago), I get asked if I would like to share my Wi-Fi password. The network is my own and the devices which I am asked to share password with are my own. As I can recall the first time this happened was after upgrading to 10.15.7. I have an iPad Pro (2018), iPhone XR, Mac mini (2018) and a MacBook Pro. Thanks!

sudden constant "do you want to share teh WI-Fi password for "xxxx network" with "MAcBook Pro" message on my phone Two days ago, both my iPhone 11Pro Max and my wife's iPhone 8 suddenly began displying this message everytime they wake up! Our home network which hasn't changed, though had to re-start wifi router a few days prior to this issue. Have never seen it in all the years of owning iPhones, though I note old questions about this issue in the community forum. Any ideas how to get rid of it?

No idea. Delete the current saved settings for your own network and set it up again.
