How to find out WiFi password from iPhone?

Imagine a situation: your iPhone has already connected to this Wi-Fi network and has automatically connected to it now. However, you urgently need to find out the password to connect another device - you forgot / lost its combination of characters. The iPhone is not an assistant for you - on the gadget the password is encrypted with a number of points. What can be done:

• The easiest way is if you set up Keychain and want to connect a Mac. iCloud Keychain will allow the computer to enter the network automatically if it works under the same account as the smartphone. However, before this, the Mac must be synchronized with the smartphone in order to "know" the password information - how to synchronize and how to make the computer gadget a router for a short time, you already know.
• Suppose the situation is this: there is a Mac, iPhone, a Keychain is configured, and you need to find out the password for a third-party device. In this case, go to iCloud Keychain on the computer. Go to the iCloud tab and sort the data by Type. Find "AirPort Network Password", select the desired network, RMB call up the menu with "Properties". Then checkmark "Show password." You will only see what you are looking for by entering the full name of the administrator and his secret cipher.
• Without Mac and Keychains, the WiFiPasswords List app can help. However, it only applies to gadgets that have been jailbroken (breaking the firmware, in other words).
• You can also, at your own risk, download cracking applications, which, according to their developers, are able to guess the password from any Wi-Fi point: iWep pro, Aircrack, NetworkList (only for the network that you used to enter).

Thus, an iPhone can not only turn out to be a router, but also help to find out a forgotten or unknown Wi-Fi password. In addition, he uses the network for his own purposes, including and for data synchronization.
