WiFi "Password" is Correct but Won't Connect
4.5
You are 100% sure the password is right, but the device says "Incorrect Password" or "Failed to Connect".
Symptoms
- Authentication error
- Connection failed
- Looping
Possible Causes
- Special characters in SSID/Password
- WPA3/WPA2 mismatch
- IP address conflict
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Forget the Network
Delete the saved network from your device and try again from scratch.
2
Check Caps Lock
WiFi passwords are case-sensitive.
3
Restart the Device
Sometimes the WiFi chip gets into a "bad state" and needs a reboot.
When to See a Technician
If you have a very long password with symbols, some older devices might struggle to process it correctly.
