Phone Password Manager is a core data recovery and viewing tool provided by the FoneTool Unlocker software. It allows users to deeply scan connected iOS devices (iPhone, iPad) through computer software to extract and view various sensitive information stored on the device, mainly including saved Wi-Fi passwords, Safari browser and various App account passwords, as well as the Apple ID information currently logged in on the device.

Typical Use Cases

Forgotten Wi-Fi Password: When you need to share your Wi-Fi password with friends but have forgotten it yourself, this feature can quickly retrieve the plain text password from your already connected phone.

Account Migration and Recovery: Before switching to a new phone or resetting your device, you can use this feature to batch export various App login credentials saved on the old device, avoiding the hassle of retrieving accounts one by one.

Apple ID Verification: When you are unsure which Apple ID is currently logged in on your device, or are concerned that the device may still have the previous owner's account information, you can use this feature to quickly verify it.

Data Backup: As part of routine data maintenance, you can regularly scan and back up password records to prevent important credentials from being permanently lost due to device loss or damage.

Preparation

Hardware Preparation: A computer running the Windows system, and an original or MFi-certified USB data cable.

Software Preparation: The latest version of FoneTool Unlocker software installed on your computer.

Device Preparation: Ensure your iOS device is sufficiently charged, the screen is unlocked, and you have trusted the currently connected computer.
