Macbook Pro & iPhone keep forgetting Wifi Passwords

Over the last few weeks, both my MacBook Pro and iPhone 14 Pro max keep forgetting WiFi passwords and won't automatically connect to known networks.

Each day I go to work I have to re-enter the password and do the same when I get home.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

All my devices forget Wi-Fi password. All devices forget Wi-Fi password randomly across a number of different networks. Have tried all the usual advice on the web to no avail. My wife on the same network this has not happened on her devices. Any solutions would be very helpful.

iPhone (XR), iPad and ancient iMac forgetting WiFi password This is an odd one. Since the update to iOS 16.4.1/iPadOS 16.4.1 I've had issues with them 'forgetting' my WiFi password. The device will drop connection to my home WiFi. When I go to reconnect I will see my home network SSID under 'my networks'. I click connect, but I always have to re-enter the wifi password. It's happened a lot on my phone, twice on my iPad and once of my iMac. The iMac is the weird one as it's the 2012 vintage and still on 10.15.7 (19H2026). Have reported the bug to Apple.

No idea. But when it happens to me I reset the router and all is well. Or has been so far.
