- rootusrootus 4y agoHow is that lock-in? It's just a feature. It doesn't in any way lock you out of setting up WiFi the old fashioned way.
- ant6n 4y agoOkay so how do I find out the wifi password of a network an iOS device is connected to, using that device? On android it’s easy: go to Wi-Fi settings, hit “share”, show QR code.
- rootusrootus 4y agoThat's just a normal security feature, passwords are input only. Just because Android lets you read them doesn't make it an ideal choice or any kind of standard. Besides, I don't want my kids to get the password from their devices and then share with their friends. And how would that constitute lock-in anyway?
