WiFi keeps saying incorrect password

Hello Community,

im using an iPhone 11 recently updated to iOS 16.2. Since the upgrade the wifi saying incorrect password issues has become a regular occurrence every 2-3 days.

Sometimes resetting the network works, sometimes not. Sometimes restarting the phone works. I’ve also had to restart my modem once.

it’s frustrating to do this every couple of days. Any tips?

And is it another ploy to push us to a phone upgrade ?

thanks for your help in advance.

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Hello dheeraj.c,

Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Let's reset your network settings and test:

Reset your network settings

If you're using iOS or iPadOS 15 or later, tap Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

If you're using iOS or iPadOS 14 or earlier, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you've used before.

More steps can be found here: If your iPhone or iPad won't connect to a Wi-Fi network

If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? Does this happen on multiple networks? Also, are any other devices experiencing similar issues?

Cheers!
