4. Using Shortcuts (workaround for iOS 16+)

IN iOS 16 and newer it became possible to create automation (Shortcuts), which can extract some system data, including Wi-Fi passwords. This method is not obvious, but it works without jailbreaking.

How to set up:

1. Open the app Shortcuts (if you don't have it, download it from App Store).
2. Go to the tab Automation → Create automation.
3. Select Personal automation → Wi-Fi.
4. Select your network and click Next.
5. Click Add action and find Get network information (Get Network Details).
6. Add one more action - Show notification (Show Notification).
7. Insert the variable into the notification field Wi-Fi Password (it will appear after adding the first action).
8. Disable the option Ask before launching and save the automation.

Now when connecting to this network iPhone will show a notification with a password. Disadvantages of the method: The password will only be displayed the next time you connect, not for an already active network.

5. Resetting the router settings (extreme case)

If none of the methods worked, and you have access to the router, you can reset it to factory settings and set a new password. This is a radical method because:

• 🔄 All router settings (including PPPoE, IPTV, Port forwarding) will be reset.
• 📡 All connected devices will be disconnected from the network.
• 🔐 You will need to set up Wi-Fi again (including the network name and password).

How to reset:

1. Find the button on the back of the router. Reset (usually recessed into the body).
2. Take a paper clip or a toothpick and press and hold the button 10-15 secondsuntil the indicators start flashing.
3. Wait 1-2 minutes for the router to reboot.
4. Connect to the router's network (it will have a default name, for example TP-Link_1234) and log in to the web interface at the standard address (192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1).
5. Set a new password in the section Wi-Fi or Wireless.

⚠️ Attention: After resetting your router, you may need to reconfigure your internet connection (enter your ISP login and password). This information is usually included in your contract or can be obtained from your provider's support team.

6. Alternative methods (if nothing helps)

If you've exhausted all options and still haven't found the password, try:

• 📱 View password on another device: If connected to this network Android-smartphone, Windows- laptop or Mac, extract the password from there. On Android 10+ path: Settings → Wi-Fi → [Network name] → Share (PIN code required). Windows: Control Panel → Network and Sharing Center → Change adapter settings → [Network] → Wireless Properties → Security.
• 📄 Check the documents from the provider: Sometimes the Wi-Fi password is specified in the Internet connection agreement or in a letter from the operator (for example, Rostelecom or Beeline).
• 📞 Contact your provider's support: If the router was issued by a provider, their support service can provide the password using the contract number (identity verification will be required).

The only time a password cannot be recovered is if the router was configured by someone else (for example, a previous tenant) and you don't know the login details for their web interface. In this situation, the only option is to reset the settings.

Common mistakes and how to avoid them

When trying to find out the Wi-Fi password on iPhone Users often encounter typical problems:

• ❌ "I can't find the network in iCloud Keychain": Make sure the device has connected to this network. after switching on iCloud KeychainOld connections may not be saved.
• ❌ "The router does not open the web interface": Check that you are connected to the same network (not via mobile data). Try a different browser or clear your cache.
• ❌ "Shortcuts doesn't show password": Make sure automation runs on connection to the network, not when the connection is lost. Also, check the app permissions Shortcuts in privacy settings.

If you use public Wi-Fi (in a cafe, airport), remember: the network administrator can monitor attempts to hack the password. Don't try to guess passwords accessing other people's networks is a violation of the law (Article 272 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Unauthorized access to computer information").

FAQ: Answers to frequently asked questions

Is it possible to find out the Wi-Fi password on an iPhone without a computer?

Yes, but with restrictions:

• If you have a second one iPhone/iPad with the same account iCloud, use iCloud Keychain (chapter Settings → Passwords).
• If the router supports login via a mobile app (for example, TP-Link Tether or Mi Wi-Fi), you can see the password there.

Without additional devices or access to the router, extract the password on one iPhone impossible.

Why isn't my Wi-Fi network listed in iCloud Keychain?

Possible reasons:

• iCloud Keychain was disconnected while connected to the network.

• The network was configured manually (without saving the password).
• The device was reset to factory settings after connection.

Solution: Reconnect to the network and check if it appears in Keychain.

Is it possible to find out someone else's Wi-Fi password from an iPhone?
No, it is not possible legally. Apple Blocks access to other people's network passwords for security reasons. All methods described in the article only work for networks that your iPhone I've already connected before.
Attempts to hack other people's networks:
• They violate the law (Article 272 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
• May result in your device being blocked from the network.
• Risk of leaking your personal data (if you connect to fake networks).
Do these methods work on jailbroken iPhones?

Yes, but jailbreaking gives you additional features:

• You can install a tweak WiFi Passwords from Cydia, which shows all saved passwords directly in the settings.
• Through Filza or iFile You can manually find the password file along the path /var/keychains/.

⚠️ Attention: Jailbreaking voids the warranty Apple and increases the device's vulnerability to viruses. We do not recommend using it solely for viewing Wi-Fi passwords.

How to protect your Wi-Fi from hacking?
To prevent unauthorized access to your network:
• Use WPA3 instead of WPA2 (in the router settings).
• Set a complex password (at least 12 characters with letters, numbers and special characters).
• Turn it off WPS (vulnerable fast connection protocol).
• Hide SSID (network name) or use guest network for temporary users.
• Update your router firmware regularly.
