Ios/macos - disable wifi passport sharing with specific contacts like children

I have set up a separate Wi-Fi SSID at home for my wife and I that we don’t want to share with the children as our children have a Wi-Fi with parental controls and time limits activated. I now would like to disable that we get asked to share the new network with the children’s phones..

How do I do this?

can i share my wifi without sharing my password I noticed that most androids and and lo brand or no brand devices when i enter my wifi password do not make that password available. But if i let someone access my wifi who has a apple device the apple device saves my password to their device and so now they have my personal information. I should be able to share my wifi without sharing my password. I do not want everyone to access my password.

Disable Viewing Wi-Fi Password in iOS16 Recently iOS 16 enabled viewing the wi-fi password in Setting>Wi-fi and then clicking on the 'i'. The result of this is that my kids and other family members are now able to view the wi-fi password and can unknowingly share it with others. I feel that the information that I was trying to keep hidden for safety reasons is now exposed and I have no way to control it. Can I disable viewing the wi-fi password option for others in iOS16? Are there any settings for me to lock the section for my family members and not allow them to view/change wi-fi settings? Any help or guidance is appreciated.

Is there a way to stop sharing wi-fi among apple devices? I have a Mac at home along with an iPad and iPhone which all share the same keychain. I am not willing to setup separate Apple ID's or stop sharing keychains -- this is very useful and saves me time. However, for some reason the Apple devices share wifi connection settings with NO WAY to disable it. This is hugely annoying as I don't need wifi on my mac since it wired to the internet. I have my wifi devices on a different subnet for security reasons. As soon as I forget that wifi network on my mac, it forgets it on my apple devices, and I can no longer access the internet on them. I re-enable the on the wifi devices and then it re-enables it on my mac, putting me on the same insecure subnet. Even if I wasn't using a different subnet, it's still an issue because I don't want my mac to access the local network via wifi when I have a 10 gbe wired ethernet connection. Apple needs to add an option to NOT share wifi connections in settings, it isn't a hard thing to do.
