Sharing your WLAN password in iOS 11 - it's that easy

Since many communication channels and other apps run over the Internet today, you want to be able to share your WLAN password with your friends in a straightforward way. The easiest way to do this is to send your data via your iPhone in iOS 11, ensuring proper transmission.

How to share your password

The problem with Wi-Fi passwords is that a secure network key is both long and complex. Typing this in is unnecessarily complicated when you can also share access via iOS 11.

1. Once you want to connect to a new network, you need to place the iOS device that you want to gain network access right next to a device that is already registered in the system.
2. On the device that already has access to the desired network, now opens a new window.
3. In this window you can read all the relevant facts that are necessary for sharing the password and which device wants access to the wireless network.
4. If you want to allow the device access, you only need to confirm the sharing of the password. To do this, simply click on the button that appears.

The requirements for sharing in iOS 11

To use this feature with your friends, both devices must have iOS 11 or macOS High Sierra or a newer operating system installed. Also, both devices must have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled. In order for password sharing to be secure, you must have the person you are authorizing access to saved in your address book. This ensures that only friends and acquaintances get access.
