How to share Wi-Fi password from iPhone with others

The most popular way of sharing Wi-Fi password is by using a passcode lock. But the problem with this method is that the password must be entered every time the user wants to connect to a Wi-Fi network.

The solution is to use an iPhone app, which allows users to share their Wi-Fi password with others in real time. The app can be used for both personal and business purposes. For example, it can be used for sharing your business’s Wi-Fi password with clients or colleagues when you are on a meeting or away from your office.
