How to show the Wi-Fi network password from iPad (2022)?

If what you want is to see the password to enter it on a television, a Windows computer, an Android phone or any other device that is not Apple brand and, therefore, does not have the password sharing system through AirDrop of Apple, you can see the password of a WiFi network saved on your iPad (2022) by following these steps:

1- First step: As you have done before, open the iPad (2022) settings and then access the Wi-Fi settings of this device.

2- Second step: Find the Wi-Fi network you need to connect to and that you already have saved on your iPad (2022). To the right, an information icon will appear in a circle. Click on this icon to access the Wi-Fi network details.

3- Third step: You will see the details of this Wi-Fi network. In a section called “Password”, to the right, several asterisks will be displayed, one asterisk for each character of the password. Click on the asterisks to reveal the password for this Wi-Fi network.

4- Fourth step: By clicking on the asterisks of the password, you will need to confirm your identity using FaceID, TouchID or the access code to the iPad (2022). In addition to showing the password, the “Copy” and “Read” options will appear. Using “Copy”, you can copy the password to, for example, paste it into another application on the iPad (2022). On the other hand, the “Read” option will play a voice reading the password. We do not recommend this option, as it reads characters very quickly and often, which does not allow enough time to write it on another device.
