Apple makes it pretty easy to share Wi-Fi passwords. If someone nearby tries to join a network from an iPhone, iPad, or Mac and they’re saved in your Contacts, your device will usually prompt you automatically to share the password. You can also open the Passwords app and generate a QR code for the network so someone can scan it and join instantly.

Sometimes, though, you just need to send the password in a message or email. On an iPhone or iPad, open Passwords, tap Wi-Fi, choose the network, and tap the hidden password field to reveal it. From there you can tap Copy Password to paste it wherever you need. On a Mac, open the Passwords app, hover over the hidden password for the network, and click the revealed password to copy it.
