How to Joining iPhone Wi-Fi Networks With Non-Typable Passwords
It can be a problem for those who need to enter the backtick for a Wi-Fi password on iPhone.Because the iPhone's virtual keyboard can't do is type a grave accent mark without a letter (a ` or backtick to all you programmers out there).
Don’t be frustrated, there is a tips to get around non-typable passwords using your iPhone Configuration Utility.
Here the steps:
- First, download the iPhone Configuration Utility from Apple's enterprise support site. Using the utility, head straight to the "Configuration Profiles" section and navigate to the Wi-Fi tab.
- Enter your network's SSID and leave the security type as "Any".
- Before you export the profile, you'll need to enter an identifier under the "General" tab. This can be something as simple as "com.YOURNAME.profile". You'll also need to enter a name for your profile, such as "Profile" or "Wi-Fi".
- After you're done, hit export and save it to your desktop.
- Open the mobileconfig file using an app such as TextEdit, and search for
<key>SSID_STR</key>
<string>YOUR_SSID</string>
The text YOUR_SSID will be the SSID that you specified in the configuration utility.
Right underneath it, you'll want to add:<key>Password</key>
<string>THE_WPA_PASSWORD</string> - Replace THE_WPA_PASSWORD with your network's password.
- Save the file and email it to yourself.
Note : not all characters can be directly written in XML. If you have any of these five characters, you will need to translate them to their Predeclared Entity:
Character | Predeclared Entity |
& | & |
< | < |
> | > |
" | " |
' | ' |
So for example, if the password is :
u(P&5/`@$Mf":Ba96@G>Osf'< wn
It may changed to :
u(P&5/`@$Mf":Ba96@G>Osf'<wn
If you having problems, xmllint might help.
To install the profile, simply:
open the email on your iPhone and tap on the attachment.
After it asks you to confirm the installation, your iPhone will now join to Wi-Fi Networks with the right non-typable passwords.
