大多数 Wi-Fi 密码长得令人麻木,插入 iPhone 或Mac时很痛苦。值得庆幸(Thankfully)的是,您的 iOS 或 macOS 设备不仅可以保存您永久连接的任何 Wi-Fi 热点(包括密码),还可以通过iCloud 钥匙串在您的(iCloud Keychain)Apple设备之间同步它们。这使得重新连接到每个网络变得轻而易举。
为了让事情变得更好,您还可以与其他人共享Wi-Fi密码。(Wi-Fi)例如,如果有朋友来你家,你可以快速将你的家庭Wi-Fi密码从你的 iPhone 传输到他或她的Mac,并让它在几秒钟内无缝连接到互联网。这也适用于相反的方式。
为了避免任何人意外与陌生人共享密码,发送者和接收者都必须将对方的Apple ID存储在他们的联系人列表中。但在大多数情况下,这不是问题,您应该能够立即共享您的 Wi-Fi 密码。

无法共享 Wi-Fi 密码(Share Wi-Fi Password)?尝试(Try)这些修复
如果您在 iPhone 或Mac(Mac)上共享 Wi-Fi 密码时碰巧遇到了问题,下面的修复应该可以帮助您解决问题。
在两台设备上激活蓝牙(Activate Bluetooth on Both Devices)
Wi-Fi 密码共享需要蓝牙(Bluetooth)在发送和接收设备上都处于活动状态。打开iPhone 和Mac上的(Mac)控制中心(Control Center)或蓝牙(Bluetooth)状态菜单并确保将其激活。
解锁发送设备(Unlock Sending Device)
解锁发送设备是个好主意。例如,如果您要从 iPhone 共享Wi-Fi密码,请确保当其他人在他或她的设备上选择Wi-Fi网络时其(Wi-Fi)主(Home)屏幕可见。
重启两个设备(Restart Both Devices)
重新启动两台Apple设备可以修复阻止它们共享密码的任何小技术故障。
要重新启动 iPhone,请前往“设置”(Settings ) > “通用(General )” > “关机”(Shut Down ),然后将电源(Power )图标拖到右侧。然后,等待 30 秒,然后按住侧面(Side )按钮将其重新启动。
在 Mac 上,只需打开Apple菜单并选择重新启动(Restart)即可重新启动设备。

前往“设置”(Settings) > “通用(General )” > “软件更新”(Software Update)来更新 iPhone,或“系统偏好设置”(System Preferences) > “软件更新”(Software Update)来更新 Mac。
如果接收设备上没有互联网连接,请至少尝试更新发送设备。
仔细检查 Apple ID 的联系人卡片(Double-Check Contact Card for Apple ID)
即使你有对方的名片,也可能没有他或她的Apple ID。前往iPhone 或Mac上的“(Mac)通讯录(Contacts)”应用并仔细检查。要求发送者或接收者也这样做。
连接到互联网
正如您刚刚发现的那样,与您认识的人共享 Wi-Fi 密码非常简单。您还可以使用相同的方法将密码发送到您拥有的Apple设备。
这应该很有用,例如,当您的设备上有不同的Apple ID(Apple IDs)并且无法使用 iCloud 同步密码时。顺便问一下,你知道你可以在 iPhone 和 Mac 上看到你的 Wi-Fi 密码(see your Wi-Fi passwords on the iPhone and Mac)吗?
How to Share Your WiFi Password from iPhone to Mac or Vice Versa
Most Wi-Fi passwоrds are mind-numbingly long and a pain to insert on an iPhone or Mac. Thankfully, your iOS or macOS device not only saves any Wi-Fi hotspots—including passwords—that you cоnnect to permanently, but іt also syncs them among your Apple devices over iCloud Keychain. That makes reconnecting to each network a breeze.
To make things even better, you can also share Wi-Fi passwords with other people. If a friend came over to your place, for example, you could quickly transfer your home Wi-Fi password from your iPhone to his or her Mac and seamlessly let it connect to the internet within seconds. That also works the other way around.
Just so that no one ends up sharing passwords with total strangers by accident, both the sender and the receiver must have each other’s Apple ID stored on their contacts list. But in most cases, that’s a non-issue, and you should be able to share your Wi-Fi password right away.
Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about sharing your Wi-Fi password from your iPhone to another iPhone or Mac, and vice-versa.
Add Apple IDs to the Contacts App
For Wi-Fi password sharing to work between yours and someone else’s iPhone and Mac, your Apple ID should be saved within the other person’s Contacts app, and his or her Apple ID should be saved in yours.
If both of you know each other well, that’s probably the case already, so you can skip over to the “Send or Receive Wi-Fi Password” section. If not, here’s how to set up a new contact card or edit an existing contact on the iPhone and Mac.
Add or Edit Contact on iPhone
1. Open the Contacts app on the iPhone.
2. Select the plus-shaped Add icon to the screen’s top-right to start creating a new contact. If you want to edit a contact, select it and tap Edit instead.
3. Tap add email and type in the Apple ID. Fill in any other details such as the name and phone number (optional) and tap Done.
Add or Edit Contact on Mac
1. Go to Finder > Applications and open the Contacts app.
2. Select the plus-shaped Add icon and select New Contact. To edit a contact, select it and choose the Edit option instead.
3. Add the Apple ID into the home or work fields. After filling in any other details, choose Done.
Send or Receive Wi-Fi Password
Provided that both you and the other person have each other’s Apple IDs stored within the Contacts app on the iPhone and Mac, you’re now ready to start sharing Wi-Fi passwords.
Here’s how to send a Wi-Fi password from the iPhone to a Mac, and vice-versa. It’s also possible to share from an iPhone to another iPhone, or from a Mac to another Mac.
Share Wi-Fi Password From iPhone to Mac
1. Connect the iPhone to the Wi-Fi network.
2. Open the Wi-Fi status menu from the Mac’s menu bar (or via the Control Center in macOS Big Sur) and select the same Wi-Fi network. The Mac should request the Wi-Fi password.
3. The iPhone should display a notification labeled Wi-Fi Password. Tap Share Password to continue.
4. Wait for a few seconds for the iPhone to share the Wi-Fi password with the Mac.
5. Tap Done to close the notification. In the meantime, the Mac should receive and use the password to join the Wi-Fi network automatically.
Share Wi-Fi Password From Mac to iPhone
1. Connect the Mac to the Wi-Fi network.
2. Open the Settings app on the iPhone and tap Wi-Fi.
3. Select the same Wi-Fi network. The iPhone should then prompt for the Wi-Fi password.
4. In the meantime, a Wi-Fi Password notification should show up on the top-right corner of the Mac’s screen. Select the Share option on it. If you don’t see that, hover the cursor over the notification and select Options > Share.
5. The iPhone should receive the Wi-Fi password and use it to join the network automatically.
Can’t Share Wi-Fi Password? Try These Fixes
If you happen to run into issues while sharing Wi-Fi passwords on an iPhone or Mac, the fixes that follow should help you sort things out.
Activate Bluetooth on Both Devices
Wi-Fi password sharing requires Bluetooth to be active on both the sending and the receiving device. Open the Control Center or the Bluetooth status menus on the iPhone and Mac and make sure to activate it.
Unlock Sending Device
It’s a good idea to unlock the sending device. If you’re about to share a Wi-Fi password from your iPhone, for example, make sure that its Home screen is visible as the other person selects the Wi-Fi network on his or her device.
Restart Both Devices
Restarting both Apple devices can fix any minor technical glitches that prevent them from sharing passwords.
To restart an iPhone, go to Settings > General > Shut Down and drag the Power icon to the right. Then, wait for 30 seconds before holding down the Side button to boot it back.
On the Mac, simply open the Apple menu and select Restart to reboot the device.
Bring Devices Closer to Each Other
Wi-Fi password sharing should work with the sending and receiving devices in the same room. But it won’t hurt to bring them right next to each other.
Update Both Devices
Updating the system software on both devices should eliminate any bugs that prevent Wi-Fi password sharing from working correctly.
Head over to Settings > General > Software Update to update an iPhone, or System Preferences > Software Update to update a Mac.
If there’s no internet connectivity on the receiving device, try updating the sending device at the very least.
Double-Check Contact Card for Apple ID
Even if you have the contact card of the other person, it may not have his or her Apple ID. Head over to the Contacts app on your iPhone or Mac and double-check that. Ask the sender or receiver to do likewise.
Connect to the Internet
As you just found out, it’s quite straightforward to share Wi-Fi passwords with people that you know. You can also utilize the same method to send passwords to Apple devices that you own.
That should come in useful, for example, when you have different Apple IDs on your devices and can’t sync passwords using iCloud. By the way, did you know that you can see your Wi-Fi passwords on the iPhone and Mac?
