Hi,

today that I got a new iphone 8 plus and after signing into my apple id, my 
wifi settings imported from my mac once I entered my macs password glad to see 
that it was so easy to get things works.

Hi all,

I have a question tha is a unusual request.  I just got a new computer and need 
to get it online.  I am wondering if there is a way to view the wifi code of 
the wifi network I am currently connected to.  It is a very long code.  I had 
to have someone enter the code for me since it was stored on there  phone.  I 
would like to have it so that I can store it someware and use it to connect the 
new laptop to the network.  If this is a bit off topic I appolage in advance.  
If there is an app that would allow me to  do this.  Thanks.

Tim,

Thanks.  I did a bit of googling around and found out how to get what OI needed 
from keychain.  Good to know about the I devices as I am looking at getting a 
new phone this week.  If I can find one on t-mlobile prepaid I should be good.  
BTW,  the device was a windows pc not an I device.  Thanks again.

Matthew

Hi,

There's no real need to do anything like that.  It is totally possible to share 
that WiFi password with any other Apple device.  Just make sure that they are 
close to each other, and that you're either using the same Apple ID, or have 
the other person in your contacts, and the WiFi password can be instantly 
shared with the other device without having to share the actual alphanumeric 
string.  Alternatively, this information is stored in your Keychain, and can be 
accessed with a bit of work.

Later...
