How to Share Your Wi-Fi Password

What You Will Need

• Your iPhone or Android phone (already connected to Wi-Fi)
• Your guest’s phone

Step 1: The Easy Way (iPhone to iPhone)

If both of you have iPhones:

1. Make sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are turned on for both phones
2. Make sure you are in each other’s Contacts
3. Ask your guest to go to Settings > Wi-Fi and tap your network name
4. A pop-up will appear on YOUR phone saying “Share Your Wi-Fi Password?”
5. Tap Share Password

Your guest is now connected. No password typing needed.

Step 2: The QR Code Way (Works for Everyone)

On Android (and some iPhones):

1. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi (or Network)
2. Tap the network you are connected to
3. Look for Share or a QR code icon
4. A QR code will appear on your screen

Ask your guest to open their camera and point it at the QR code. Their phone will connect to your Wi-Fi automatically.

Step 3: Find Your Password Manually

If the other methods do not work, you can look up your password:

• On iPhone (iOS 16+): Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Tap the (i) next to your network > Tap Password > Confirm with Face ID or passcode
• On Android: Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Tap your network > Tap Share and the password will be shown below the QR code

Write it down or show it to your guest.

Step 4: Check Your Router

If you cannot find the password on your phone:

• Look at the sticker on your router (the box that gives you internet). It usually shows the Wi-Fi name and password
• The password is often on the bottom or back of the router

You Did It!

You shared your Wi-Fi password with your guest. No more spelling out long passwords letter by letter.
