Forgetting a Wi-Fi password is pretty common, especially when you’re trying to connect a new phone or laptop.

There are a few simple ways to connect without having to type the password manually, as long as you’re authorized to use the network. QR codes, saved network settings and sharing features can make the process much easier.
