Before you begin

Make sure both devices have the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, or macOS.
On both devices, turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and make sure each person is signed into their respective Apple Account. If either device has Personal Hotspot on, turn it off.
Make sure each person has the other person's Apple Account email or phone number saved in Contacts.
Keep the devices close to each other.

Ask the person requesting the password to tap the Wi-Fi network name on their device.
Make sure that your own device (the one sharing the password) is unlocked and connected to Wi-Fi.
When prompted on your device, tap Share Password, then tap Done.
