It’s a moment played out in every home that has internet access in every country across the world. You friend asks you for the WiFi password (normally within five minutes of entering your house), and because you’ve sensibly picked a tricky password with numbers, symbols and a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters… you can’t remember it.
But long gone are the days of crawling on all-fours trying to find the WiFi code stuck to the WiFi hub or faffing around describing long passwords for your guests like you’re contestants on the world’s worst quiz show. Instead you can simply share your WiFi password from your device:
How to share your WiFi password on an Apple device
Make sure your device (the one sharing the password) is unlocked and connected to the WiFi network with Bluetooth turned on
Select the WiFi network on the device you want to connect.
On your device, tap Share Password, then tap Done.
If that doesn’t work, the other person will need to manually enter the password.
How to share your WiFi password on an Android device
Open Settings on your device, then select Network & Internet > WiFi.
In Saved networks, tap the network you want to share.
If the other device has as a camera, tap the Share button, and use that device to scan the QR code that appears.
If that doesn’t work, the other person will need to manually enter the password that appears below the QR code.
