  2. Click Wi-Fi in the sidebar.

    If you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network, its name appears at the top of the screen. You can also see all the Wi-Fi networks you previously saved.

    If you don’t see Wi-Fi, click the Sidebar button.

  3. Select a Wi-Fi network.

  4. Hold the pointer over the series of dots next to Password to show the password.

    To copy the password to use elsewhere, click the series of dots.

Share your Wi-Fi network password with a nearby friend or family member

  1. Make sure your Mac (the one sharing the password) is unlocked and connected to the Wi-Fi network.

  2. Have your friend of family member go to Wi-Fi settings on their iPhone, iPad, or Mac, then choose the network.

  3. When a message asks if you want to share your Wi-Fi password, click Share Password.

Note: To share your Wi-Fi network password, devices must be within Bluetooth and Wi-Fi range, not using Personal Hotspot, and added to each other’s contacts.

You can also go to the Wi-Fi network in Passwords and click Show Network QR Code, which friends and family can scan to join the network.
