If you aren’t used to typing the WiFi network password on your devices frequently, it is harder to remember it. When you connect a device to a WiFi network, the device remembers the password and pairs with WiFi anytime it is nearby. Unless the password is changed, you won’t be asked to enter it again. While this generally works perfectly, you might forget the password and struggle to recall it when a visitor to your home asks for it. Fortunately, the Android device that is logged into the WiFi network remembers the password and may quickly share it when necessary. The two basic methods for sharing a WiFi network and password from an Android handset are presented in this article.
