Request

To operate, iOS 11 or MacOS High Sierra is essential on both devices and ensure that both devices turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth . If a device doesn't have iOS 11 or MacOS High Sierra, it won't work.

As long as these requirements are met, it will work whether you use an iPad, iPhone, iPod touch or Mac computer. In the case below, we use two iPhone phones as examples.

Step 1: Select Wi-Fi network

On iPhone phones need to access the Internet, open Wi-Fi settings and select the network you want to connect.

Step 2: Open the connected device

Now, iPhone has been connected to Wi-Fi network needs to be unlocked to operate. If it's your iPhone, just enter the confirmation code, use the Touch ID or Face ID to unlock it. If the iPhone is owned by others, politely ask them to do this.

Step 3: Move the device closer to each other

If nothing happens on the iPhone device, move the two devices closer together. They need to stay close to each other so that the iPhone does not connect to send a request to the connected iPhone device.

Step 4: Send password

If all goes according to plan, the hint below will appear on the connected iPhone requesting its Wi-Fi sharing. It will look like this:

Simply press or click the " Share Password " button to send it via an unconnected iPhone.

And that's all you need to do. Of course, you should not share a Wi-Fi password with someone you don't trust and should refuse permission. Although they will not see the Wi-Fi password on their device but if it is stored in Keychain, they can view it on the Mac after synchronization. In addition, this will likely not work at some business hotspots using a RADIUS server for authentication.
