Step 1: Verify Device Compatibility

Before proceeding to view the Wi-Fi password of your personal hotspot on an iPhone, it is important to verify that your device is compatible. This is because the procedure may vary slightly depending on the model of iPhone you own.

Check the Operating System Version

Firstly, make sure you have installed the latest version of the iOS operating system on your iPhone. To do this, follow these steps:

• Go to "Settings" from the main menu of your iPhone
• Select "General"
• Look for "Software Update" option and tap on it
• If a new version of the operating system is available, follow the instructions to download and install it

Remember that having the latest version of the operating system can ensure greater security and improve the performance of your iPhone.

Check Compatibility with Personal Hotspot

Now check if your iPhone supports the Personal Hotspot feature. This option allows you to turn your iPhone into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing other devices to connect to the Internet using your iPhone's cellular data connection.

To check if your iPhone supports Personal Hotspot, follow these steps:

• Go to "Settings" from the main menu of your iPhone
• Select "Cellular"
• Look for "Personal Hotspot" option and tap on it
• If the option is present, your iPhone supports Personal Hotspot. Otherwise, contact your phone operator to verify if this feature is available for your tariff plan.

Also make sure you have a data plan that supports the use of Personal Hotspot, as this may incur additional costs from your phone operator.

Step 2: Access Personal Hotspot Settings

After activating personal hotspot on your iPhone, access the settings to view the password.

1. Open Settings on Your iPhone

Tap the Settings icon on the main screen of your iPhone. The icon is depicted as a gray gear.

2. Select "Cellular"

Scroll down and tap "Cellular" from the available options.

3. Select "Personal Hotspot"

Tap on the "Personal Hotspot" option in the list of cellular options.

Step 4: View your Personal Hotspot password

Under the "Personal Hotspot" option, you'll see a section called "Wi-Fi Password". Your Personal Hotspot password will be listed in this section.

• Note: If you haven't set a password for your Personal Hotspot yet, a random password will be generated automatically.
• Alternatively, you can tap on the "Wi-Fi Password" option to change it to something more memorable.

Now that you've accessed your Personal Hotspot settings, you can view and modify your iPhone's Personal Hotspot password.

Step 3: View your Wi-Fi password

After logging into your router, the next step is to view your Wi-Fi password. This process may vary slightly depending on your router model.

Option 1: Find the password under "Wireless"

In many cases, the Wi-Fi password can be found under the "Wireless" section of your router's settings. To access this section, look for an option called "Wireless Settings" or "Wi-Fi Settings". Once you've found this option, look for a field labeled "Password", "Security Key", or "Passphrase". Your Wi-Fi password should be listed in this field.

• For example, if you have a TP-Link router, you can find the Wi-Fi password under "Wireless > Wireless Security". In most cases, the password field will be labeled "WPA/WPA2 - PSK Password".
• If you have a Netgear router, you can find the Wi-Fi password under "Wireless > Security Options". Look for a field labeled "Passphrase" or "Network Key".

Option 2: Find the password under "Guest Network"

In some cases, you may need to look for the Wi-Fi password under the "Guest Network" section of your router. This option is only available on some router models and is used to create a separate network for guests.

• For example, if you have an ASUS router, you can find the Wi-Fi password under "Guest Network > Wireless Settings". Look for a field labeled "Password" or "Security Key".

Remember that if you've changed your Wi-Fi password in the past, the one displayed in your router's settings may no longer be valid. In this case, you'll need to reset your password following your Internet service provider's instructions.

Now that you've found your Wi-Fi password, you can use it to connect your iPhone to your Wi-Fi network. Simply select the network from the list of available networks and enter the password when prompted.

Step 4: Copy and paste your Wi-Fi password

Now that you've found your Wi-Fi password, it's time to copy and paste it into your device. Follow these simple steps:

• Select the password by long-pressing on the text string.
• Tap "Copy" when the option appears.
• Go to the Wi-Fi settings screen on your device.
• Select the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to.
• Paste the password into the password box.
• Tap "Connect".

Congratulations! You are now connected to your personal Wi-Fi network using your password. Remember to keep your password safe so that only authorized individuals can access your network.

This method works on all iOS devices, including iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. If you have trouble finding your Wi-Fi password or encounter other issues during the connection process, check your personal hotspot settings or contact technical support for assistance.
