  • iPhone: Go to Settings > Wi-Fi. Tap the blue "i" next to your network and authenticate with your passcode or Face ID to reveal the password.

Windows: A Peek Behind the Curtain

  • Windows PC: Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi. Click on your connected network, then select Properties. Look for "View Wi-Fi security key" and click to reveal the password.
