In some situations, you may not be able to use the first method due to some reasons. No worry. There are other two ways for you to find a Wi-Fi password on an iPhone. If you have a PC available, you can use the iPhone unlocker, which also performs well as a Wi-Fi password finder, EaseUS MobiUnlock to get all saved Wi-Fi passwords on your iPhone.

This tool works to show all saved passwords, including Wi-Fi passwords, website & app passwords, and mail passwords, on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. When it comes to finding Wi-Fi passwords, it will show any Wi-Fi password you have used before, whether you are using the Wi-Fi network or not.
