Things to keep in mind, before sharing your password
You should make sure that the devices you want to pair have the version of iOS or iPadOS updated to the latest version. And that the version of the PC is also updated as macOS high Sierra.
- If one of the devices has the access point active, you must turn it off.
- Activate on both WiFi and Bluetooth devices.
- You must sign in to iCloud. You should also keep in mind that the email address you used with your Apple ID is registered by the other person and is saved in their contacts.
- The devices involved must be nearby, to ensure that they are within range of Bluetooth and WiFi. Let’s remember that the bluetooth range is 10 meters.
Sharing WiFi password
- On the device that will be used to share the password, you should check that it is unlocked and maintains a stable WiFi connection.
- After that, on the device you want to connect, select the WiFi network that also shares the device that will share your password.
- On the device that will share your password, you need to tap password sharing and you’re done.
If you can’t connect
- If the pop-up window with the configuration animation does not appear, restart the two computers involved and try again.
