I forgot my Wi-Fi password!?

One of the charms and strengths of the iPhone is that you can understand how to use it without reading the manual. However, even if you think you know it, there must be something you don't understand correctly. In this corner, we will explain in an easy-to-understand manner "why the iPhone can't be asked now". This time, we will answer the question "I forgot my Wi-Fi password!?"

When you connect to Wi-Fi with iPhone (iOS), the access point name (SSID) and password will be stored in the system and will be used next time you connect to the same access point. Therefore, once you connect successfully, you will not have to enter your password again unless you reset your settings.

So you don't have to worry about forgetting the password for your Wi-Fi access point, but if you reset the settings or buy a new Wi-Fi router, you'll be asked to enter the password again. For Wi-Fi access points (stealth SSID) that do not display the SSID, you will also need to enter the SSID.

You can easily check the Wi-Fi access point password if you have a computer that has been connected to the same Wi-Fi router before.

For Windows 10, search for "View network connections" in the Start button search box, display the wireless properties on the displayed Wi-Fi access point status screen, and select "Password characters" on the Security tab. If you check "Show", the password will be displayed.

For macOS, start "Keychain Access", search for the target SSID, double-click the displayed result, check "Show password" in the dialog that appears, and use it when logging in to Mac If you enter the password you are using, the password for that Wi-Fi access point will be displayed.

If you haven't changed the connection password since purchasing the Wi-Fi router, you may find a sticker with the password engraved on the back or bottom of the router. There is also a way to access the router management screen with a web browser and check the password, so check the manual attached to the router.
