Method 3: Export router settings (for advanced users)

If the router's web interface is blocked or the administrator password is lost, you can export configuration file and find the Wi-Fi key in it. This method requires access to computer and basic skills in working with text files.

Instructions:

1. Connect to your router via cable or Wi-Fi
2. Log in to the web interface (see Method 2)
3. Find the section System Tools → Backup/Restore (or similar)
4. Export the settings file (usually has the extension .cfg or .bin)
5. Open the file in a text editor (Notepad++, VS Code or Sublime Text)
6. Find the lines with SSID (network name) and PSK (password). Example:

   wl0_ssid=MyWiFi
   wl0_wpa_psk=12345678

binwalk -e router_config.bin

The advantage of this method is the password is guaranteed to be in the file, even if it is not visible in the web interface. However:

• 🔧 A computer is required (on iPhone (It's not possible to open a binary file)
• 🛡️ Some manufacturers encrypt configuration files
• ⚠️ Changing a file without knowledge can break your router

Method 4: Use Shortcuts (automation for iOS 15+)

With the exit iOS 15 Apple has added the ability to extract Wi-Fi passwords via the Shortcuts app.This method does not require jailbreaking, but only works on devices with the latest firmware versions.

How to set up:

1. Install the application Scripts (if you don't have it, download it from App Store)
2. Create a new script → click Add action
3. Enter in the search Wi-Fi → select an action Get Wi-Fi network information
4. Add an action Show result → select an option Password
5. Run the script (you will need confirmation via Face ID or password)

Limitations of the method:

• 📱 Works only on iPhone With iOS 15 and newer
• 🔒 Requires device unlocking (cannot be used on someone else's iPhone)
• 📶 Shows password only for currently connected network

⚠️ Note: Some users have reported that after updating to iOS 17.4 action Get Wi-Fi network information disappears from the list. In this case, try resetting the script settings (Settings → Scripts → Reset warnings).

Method 5: Jailbreak (last resort)

If none of the above methods worked, the only thing left is jailbreak - hacking the system iOS to gain superuser rights. This is The only way to view all saved Wi-Fi passwords directly on iPhone, but it has serious risks:

• 🚨 Void the warranty Apple
• 🛡️ Opens vulnerabilities to viruses and hacker attacks
• 📵 May cause unstable operation of the device
• 🔄 After updating iOS, the jailbreak disappears

Instructions (for experienced users):

1. Install jailbreak using checkra1n (For iPhone 5S–X) or palera1n (for new models)
2. After jailbreaking, install the tweak WiFi Passwords from the repository BigBoss or Chariz
3. Open the app Settings → Wi-Fi Passwords - all saved keys will be there

Alternative tweaks for viewing passwords:

• 🔑 NetworkList - shows all networks and passwords in one list
• 📡 WiFi Passwords List — exports passwords to a file
• 🔍 WiFi Explorer - advanced network analysis (including hidden networks)

What to do if none of the methods work?

If you've tried all the methods and still can't find the password, there are some drastic measures left:

1. Reset the router to factory settings:
   • Press and hold the button Reset on the back panel of the router for 10-15 seconds
   • The password will be reset to the default one (indicated on the device sticker)
   • ⚠️ All router settings (including IP bindings, Port Forwarding) will be lost
2. Contact your provider:
   • If the router was issued by the provider (for example, MTS, Megaphone), call support - they can reset your password remotely
   • You will be required to confirm your personal information (full name, address, contract number)
• Connect via WPS:
  • Click the button WPS on the router (usually next to the indicators)
  • On iPhone Select a network and wait for it to connect (without entering a password)
  • ⚠️ This method only works if WPS is enabled in the router settings.

  If you rent a place to live or use a corporate network, It's better to check the password with the owner or administrator.Unauthorized access to other people's networks may be considered a violation of the law (Article 272 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - "Unauthorized access to computer information").

  Do Wi-Fi hacking apps work on iPhone?

  No, All apps in the App Store that promise to "hack Wi-Fi" are scams.Here's why:

  • 🍎 Apple strictly moderates applications in App Store - no hacking tools get there
  • 🔒 Modern routers use WPA2/WPA3, which cannot be hacked on the fly from a phone
  • 📱 Apps that require jailbreaking often contain viruses or spyware
  • ⚖️ Using such programs is illegal (Article 272 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation)

  What do these "hackers" actually do:

  • They steal personal data
  • Install malware
