How to find out WiFi password from iPhone?

Let's imagine a situation: your iPhone has already connected to this Wi-Fi network and is 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 your assistant in this - on the gadget, the password is encrypted with a series of dots. What cantake:

• Easiest if you've set up Keychain Access and want to connect your Mac. iCloud Keychain will allow your computer to log into the network automatically if it works under the same account as the smartphone. However, before that, the Mac must be synchronized with the smartphone in order to "know" the password information - you already know how to synchronize and how to briefly turn the gadget for the computer into a router.
• Let's say the situation is as follows: there is a "Mac", iPhone, "Keychain Access" is configured, and you need to find out the password for a third-party device. In this case, go to iCloud Keychain on your computer. Go to the iCloud tab and sort the data by "Type". Find the "AirPort Network Password", select the desired network, RMB open the menu with "Properties". Then check the "Show password" box. You will only see what you are looking for by entering the administrator's full name and secret code.
• Without "Mac" and "Keychain Access", the WiFiPasswords List application can help you. However, it only works for gadgets that have been jailbroken (hacking the firmware, in other words).
• You can also download cracking apps at your own risk, which, according to their developers, are able to crack the password from any Wi-Fi point: iWep pro, Aircrack, NetworkList (only for the network you logged in earlier).

Thus, an iPhone can not only be a router, but also help to find out a forgotten orunknown wifi password. In addition, he uses the network for his own purposes, incl. and for data synchronization.
