Do passwords have to be entered again in a new database or does this app access existing Wifi passwords I've accumulated over the years which now reside in the iCloud Keychain?

@johnnylin @chuckkahn This was a big bummer to me having not realized this until after purchasing the app. If Apple lets you access that data in the keychain somehow that would be a huge plus for me. Then I don't have to track down all the complicated WiFi passwords that are already stored on my keychain but not accessible from mobile. In other words, would be nice next time I join a WiFi network (that I don't know the password to) I would be able to share that password.

@addisonjames @johnnylin Good to know.

@johnnylin Just once... for every single password. Yikes.

@johnnylin @addisonjames That sounds dangerous. My two cents.

@johnnylin @chuckkahn Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense. I guess I just need to remember to input all my wif passwords into the Widget after joining every network... Kind of a UX bummer but I see the limitation you're faced with.

Happily purchased this app. However, I just have one gripe with it: Wi-Fi Widget shows my password even when the phone is locked. Can there please be an option added for those of us who may prefer not to give easy access to the password if or when the widget is expanded from the lock screen? Granted, this might come off as an overzealous request for a widget that's supposed to make the process of sharing passwords relatively painless, and therefore outside the scope. If this is indeed the case, then I respect that.

@johnnylin 1.0.2 is already live on my end. Other than the inverted icon, it's great to see this exception added in! I also love how invoking Touch ID shows the password all without leaving the lock screen. Thank you very much for the swift response! Wi-Fi Widget has now become an indispensable app that will surely be among the first to get installed on all of my new devices.

Looks good, find the share app popup on hard press alongside the share password item confusing. I understand you want people to share the app, but it slows me down knowing which I click. Preferred mockup without that.

@nckelder I think Apple adds the "Share App" Force Touch option for every app automatically.

Oh I was not aware, interesting. Maybe you can change the wording of yours somehow to jump out. They both just have similar wordings, hence the confusion.

Great widget but I was hoping if you could build in a feature to switch easily between WiFi points (e.g. saved one's) from the widget without switching to Settings app.

This is incredible and I would highly recommend this to anyone, especially anyone with an iOS device! Thank you guys for this beautiful and useful app/widget.

love the ease of getting the wifi info, and the future enhancements you've mentioned so far. iOS 10.2.1. iPhone 6: I did notice I was on wifi1 opened the app set the password. Switched to a wifi2 and the UI didn't update to reflect the change that i was on wifi2 until i reset the app.

I think Apple should provide the option to display the current Wifi-SSID instead of the cellular network provider ID in the statusbar. I am almost never in need to know which my current provider is. Also the force-touch widget of the Settings app should display more information then just provide a link to the wifi submenu. I like that you created this, because it proves that apple needs to work on this.
