3. On your Mac, access Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access.
4. In the left sidebar, click on iCloud and then double-click the WiFi network name you want the password for.
5. In the pop-up window, tick the Show password box and enter your Mac's password if prompted.
6. You will find the WiFi password in the Password field. You can copy it or write it down.

Now you have successfully retrieved the WiFi password on your iPhone using iCloud Keychain.

Method 2: Utilizing WiFi Password Sharing

WiFi Password Sharing allows you to share the WiFi password with another device nearby that has the same Apple ID or is in your contacts. If you have another iPhone or iPad connected to the same WiFi network as your iPhone, you can use this feature to find the WiFi password. Follow these steps:

1. On your iPhone, go to Settings > WiFi and tap on the i icon next to the WiFi network name you need the password for.
2. On the other iPhone or iPad, navigate to Settings > WiFi and tap on the same WiFi network name.
3. You will receive a pop-up message on your iPhone, asking if you want to share the WiFi password with the other device. Tap on Share Password.
4. You will see the WiFi password on the other device. You can copy it or write it down.

Now you have successfully retrieved the WiFi password on your iPhone using WiFi Password Sharing.
