How to see the WiFi password of the network your iPhone is connected to
To see the WiFi password of the network your iPhone is currently connected to, you need to first access your phone’s WiFi settings. These settings can be found by tapping the General Settings icon on your iPhone’s home screen.

From there, you need to select the “Wi-Fi” settings header to access your WiFi settings. In the WiFi settings screen, if you select the informational “i” next to the WiFi network that you’re currently connected to, you can see more details about the WiFi network.

On this screen, tapping the black dots next to “Password” will show you the password of the WiFi network. First, you’ll be authenticated with Face ID or a pin code to ensure you are the owner of the iPhone, and should therefore have privileges to see this password information.
Once you’ve been successfully authenticated, you’ll see the password of the WiFi network in plain text.

These same steps above can be repeated for any WiFi network your iPhone has previously connected to as well. The list of previous WiFi networks your iPhone has connected to can be found by selecting “Edit” in the upper right-hand corner of the WiFi settings screen.
