How can I see saved wifi passwords iPhone iOS5?

On the iPhone, is there a way to view stored wireless passwords?
A friend of mine forgets his wifi password and it would be far easier for me to look it up than for him to try and find the right menu in the router!
When I was there last I looked it up for him and added it to my phone to test it.

Drat!
I was hoping there was a secret menu for "Keychain access".
How about a 3rd party app?
Or maybe a way to dig it out of the backup file(s) on my MAC?

    How can I find my wife's iPhone? She has a different iCloud account from me. I can find all of my devices on my iCloud account. But since the last software update we needed to set up separate iCloud accounts in order to be able to use iMessage independently.

    Interesting. This never occurred to be a problem to me but I think I can see your point. Leave feedback for Apple on this here:

  • How can I recover my wifi password?

    How can I recover my wifi password? My mac is still connected, but the vodafone store deleted my settings on my ipad!! I've tried keychain access and network preferences, but it doesn't show the password, just asks for the password. Is there another way?

    Use a browser to log into your router. Navigate to the wifi settings and the passphrase will be there. The address of your router is manufacturer dependent but will be something like http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1.
    If you can't log into your router for some reason you can reset it to factory defaults. Look in your router manual for instructions. Once reset to factory defaults the wifi pass phrase will be the one provided as default for your router model. Look in your router manual. You will then need to create a new pass phrase in your router wifi settings and then change the passphrase used in your wifi devices to match your newly created passphrase.

    How can I see pages from my iphone 5 on my pc?

    What does "Pages from my iPhone 5" mean?
    If it means documents from the Pages app, you can probably convert them to Microsoft Word.
    If it means screen shots, you can find them once you sync your iPhone.

  • How to view/sync saved WiFi passwords on C3?

    I need a way to view / sync saved WiFi passwords in order to use them with another device.
    Where they are stored on a C3, and how to recover them to a PC?

    @borga
    If you are the Administrator of PC you could always get information from router or via Windows itself, but you are not going to be able to access passwords of all previously visited "hotspots".

  • Can't see my wifi passwords anymore

    Under Snow Leopard, I could go to System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Edit and see all of my saved wifi usernames and passwords.  Because it was so easy, we haven't written them down (doh. Lesson learned).  Now that I've upgraded to Lion, the "edit" button isn't there.   I've searched for this issue and people allude to using Keychain Access to see the passwords, but I don't see any network passwords in Keychain Access.
    Can someone let me know how I can see/recover my existing stored wifi passwords under Lion?  Thanks!
    HB

    With login selected in the left column under Keychains and passwords selected under Category I can see this:
    Tick Show password, and supply master reveals the network password.

  • How can I synch my wifes old iPhone 4 to my iPhone 3 info?

    My wife just got a new 4s and gave me her old 4g. I transferred service with AT&T and was told to go home and synch the phone to my old 3G info through iTunes. Trouble is, when I plug in my wife's 4G it defaults to her old information, even though it shows my phone number on the account. How can I synch the 4G to my old info from my 3G and bring in my settings and information. Do I need to go into settings on the 4G and do it manually? Thanks. Mike
    PS: I am logged into my account on iTunes when I try to synch.

    On your iPhone 4: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Should take but a minute or so, then connect to iTunes, right-click in the left device pane & select "Restore from Backup". Select your 3G backup. Follow this by syncing your iTunes content to your iPhone 4.

  • How can i find my wifi password

    I have misplaced my wifi password and cant seem to find it anywhere. I am however connected to my ipad can i find it anywhere on here?

    If you have a Mac you can use the following procedure to retrieve it. Otherwise, reset your wireless network password by momentarily depressing the reset button on your AirPort Extreme, Express, or Time Capsule. Press the button for one full second, no more. Then, configure a new password using AirPort Utility.
    Your wireless network password is stored in your Mac's Keychain.
    You must first have an Administrator account on a Mac that you use with that AirPort Base Station, one that is used to connect to your AirPort network.
    On that Mac, open the Utilities folder. Find Keychain Access and launch it.
    In the search field at the upper right, type Airport. All the Keychain entries for your base station will appear there, as well as other entries.
    Look at the column "Kind". The entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort network password" (not "AirPort base station password" or anything else).
    If you are trying to recover the AirPort Base Station password then the entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort base station password" not "AirPort network password".
    Double-click that, and in the window that appears check the box for "Show password".
    You will get the following window:
    In the Password field type your Mac's Administrator password - the same one you used to log in to that Mac.
    Then, click Allow, and your wireless network password will appear in the "Show password" field:
    Make note of it.
    Close the window, then quit Keychain Access.

  • How can I get widgets for the iphone (IOS5)?

    I updated my iPhone 3GSwith IOS5. A very nice feature is the implementation of widgets into the notification center. How can I get more widgets for the notification center? I can't find iPhone widgets in the appstore. Am I on the wrong way?

    The only widgets that notification centre supports are weather and stocks at the moment.

  • How can I get my contacts from iPhone ios5 to my mac osx10.6

    I recently upgraded my late model 2006 iMac to OS Lion. I also updated my iPhone to IOS5.
    Lion is not really configured to work seamlessly with an older mac, so I reverted back to OSX 10.6.
    This means I've lost all contacts in my address book.
    Is there a way of retrieving contacts from my iPhone IOS5 so I can add them back onto my mac?
    This is so frustrating and until I can afford a new mac, I need to find a way of getting my contacts back.
    At the moment I don't want to synch my phone with my mac for fear of losing content on my phone.

    It might take a bit longer, but it's risk free:
    Use your iMac to send your contacts in an email to yourself
    Open them using your iphone.
    They should arrive as vcf format and you click to open it and hey presto!
    Also works the other way round, so when I receive an email from a new contact, I register it on my iphone and click on "share contact", sending it to me which I then open on my Powerbook.
    Helpful?

  • How can I see when my latest iphone back up occured in iTunes without the device connected?

    My iPhon eis in recovery mode, presumably due to a failure in a software update as that was what I was last doing.  I think my phone has been syncing via wifi but before I restore from back up, I want to know when my last back up was - can anyone tell me if I can look this up on iTunes?

    To check when the latest backup was made on iTunes, open iTunes, go to iTunes menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > Devices, and look for your iPhone's name and the date
