Can You Show Saved Wi-Fi Passwords on iPad Directly

No, you can't. Although Apple allows you to view saved website & app passwords on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch directly, it doesn't offer you any way to display Wi-Fi passwords on your device. Thus, you can't show or display saved Wi-Fi passwords on your iPad.

However, that doesn't mean you can't see Wi-Fi passwords on your iPad. With the help of computer programs, you can see saved Wi-Fi passwords on your iPad in detail.
