If this feature is not working, make sure both devices are running iOS 11 or later and are close to each other. Bluetooth must be turned on for both devices for the Wi-Fi password sharing feature to work.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The issue of saved <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT204051\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT204051\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wifi <\/a>password not working on an iPhone can be a common issue. If the incorrect password is being entered, it\u2019s best to tap the reset option and try to reset the network settings. This can usually be done through wifi settings or network settings in the phone\u2019s menu. Once in those menus, follow the on-screen instructions for sharing and resetting your wifi password. This should help you get connected with the correct password. If these steps do not fix your issue, then try to reset your entire network by going into advanced options within wifi or network settings and select \u2018reset network\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When that is done, try to reconnect your iPhone or iPad to the wifi network and enter in the password again. In some cases, incorrect wifi security protocols can lead to a password complication. If you have entered in the wrong wireless security settings or an incorrect password, then you will experience wifi issues with your iPhone. The complexity of wifi networks and modem settings can also lead to an &#8216;iphone incorrect&#8217; issue. It is important that you make sure all devices connected to your router use the same wireless security protocols and have the correct wifi password entered in order for them to work properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>If you&#8217;re interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/howtoitech.com\/web-stories\/aesthetic-pastel-ipad-wallpaper\/\" data-type=\"web-story\" data-id=\"86143\">Aesthetic Pastel Ipad Wallpaper<\/a>, take a look at my other article<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>If your iphone or ipad is not working when trying to connect to a wifi network, the first thing you should do is ensure that the correct password prompt appears on the home screen. If you have recently <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT202033\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT202033\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">set up<\/a> a new device, then it may need to be entered in again for your iphone or ipad to recognise it. Once done, you should be able to see the wifi network on your device and connect by entering in the correct password. Once connected, you can then enjoy all of the benefits of having a strong and secure wi-fi network at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-light-green-cyan-to-vivid-green-cyan-gradient-background has-background\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Share WiFi Password iPhone<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>What Is It<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">The feature to share Wi-Fi passwords on an iPhone allows you to quickly and easily share Wi-Fi passwords with friends and family members<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Reasons<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">There can be a connectivity issue, not up to date software, wrong iCloud ID<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Solutions<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">If this feature is not working, make sure both devices are running iOS 11 or later and are close to each other<br> Bluetooth must be turned on for both devices for the Wi-Fi password sharing feature to work<br>To use this function, make sure both devices are close to one another, running the most recent iOS version, and logged into the same iCloud account<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Everything you need to know about the Share WiFi Password on iPhone feature.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you are having difficulty connecting your iPhone to a wi-fi network, then it may be time to share the wi-fi password. Sharing your wi-fi password can help unlock access to the network and get you connected. To do this, open Settings on your iPhone and select Wi-Fi from the list of options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Wi-Fi router should appear on the list. If it doesn&#8217;t, try restarting your router and check again. If it does appear, then a simple fix is to reset your password in the control panel of the router. Once you have done that, return to the home screen of your iPhone and try connecting again using the new password. If that still doesn&#8217;t work, then there could be another reason why sharing is not working correctly &#8211; incorrect settings or devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To fix this, one should check their local Wi-Fi settings and make sure their iPhone is connected to the right network. Additionally, ensure that the range of your Wi-Fi is strong enough for other devices to connect, or try connecting via Bluetooth or Personal Hotspot instead. If all else fails, you can also have the person select your device in order from a list of available connections on their phone. With these steps taken into account, you should be able to successfully share your Wi-Fi password with other iPhones and get them connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wireless security is a top priority, and having a reliable Wi-Fi source is crucial. To share your password with other iPhones, you need to use the latest version of iOS. The first step is to open the Settings app and go to Wi-Fi. From there, you can select your desired Wi-Fi connection and tap on \u2018Share Password\u2019. This will bring up the contacts list from which you can choose who to share with by selecting their Apple ID or others contacts in your contact list. You may also need to enable Bluetooth radios if it isn\u2019t already enabled as this will allow for sharing of passwords between different sets of iPhones that are connected via Bluetooth. With these steps taken into account, sharing should now be successful allowing you and others access to your secure Wi-Fi connection!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharing your Wi-Fi password on an iPhone is a handy feature that allows you to quickly and easily share your private wireless network with friends, family, or anyone else who needs it. If the correct password is entered, the device will automatically connect to the Wi-Fi network. However, if you are having difficulty getting a new iPhone or Mac to connect or if someone else&#8217;s device has been unable to connect, then you may need to manually enter the correct password in their wifi menu. With a newer device like an Apple one this can be quite easy as they have added features which enable them to search for available networks and remember passwords from previously connected networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you forget your fi password, or just can&#8217;t seem to get your wifi option to show up on the network settings page then it&#8217;s time to troubleshoot. First try restarting your bluetooth, then try rebooting\/restarting your iphone as sometimes this can help. If that fails then make sure you&#8217;re entering the correct password for the fi network and double check that it is in fact still active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>If you&#8217;re interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/howtoitech.com\/could-not-be-synced-because-the-connection-to-the-iphone-was-reset\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"536\">Could Not Be Synced Because The Connection To The Iphone Was Reset<\/a>, take a look at my other article<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>If it is, then you can try resetting the network settings on your iOS device as that should help make it easier for the device to accept wifi passwords. To do this, go to Settings &gt; General &gt; Reset and select \u201cReset Network Settings\u201d. This should fix any issues with your iPhone or iPad being able to accept wifi passwords. If not, then you can also try sharing your internet via bluetooth data with another device like a laptop or tablet and then connecting the iPhone or iPad to the same network that way. This should allow the iOS device to access and connect to the internet without having any problems with wifi passwords. Lastly, if all else fails you may have to reset your network settings completely in order for it work properly again on your iPhone or iPad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to sharing a wifi password with an iPhone, there are several factors that could cause it not to work. One of the most common problems is when the web browser on an iOS device does not save passwords, or if a user has changed their wifi passwords recently, they may need to update the saved passwords in their device. Additionally, software glitches can also be a factor when trying to connect an iPhone or iPod with your wi-fi network. Android owners have similar issues as well with their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.academia.edu\/download\/30551848\/andoid--tech.pdf\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.academia.edu\/download\/30551848\/andoid--tech.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">android <\/a>devices and various software glitches that can occur while attempting to connect fi connectivity. To troubleshoot these issues you should ensure that your router is powered up and broadcasting signals properly and check for any potential interferences from other wireless networks in your area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_isnt_the_Share_WiFi_Password_option_on_my_iPhone_functional\"><\/span>Why isn&#8217;t the Share WiFi Password option on my iPhone functional?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If one or both of the devices are using an outdated version of iOS, they are not close to one another, or they are not logged into the same iCloud account, the Share WiFi Password functionality could not function.
