Stop wifi password request

Hi,


I'm having troubles with the MacBook Air of my girlfriend and all of my devices.


We're both connected to the same wifi network and all passwords are saved, but the MacBook Air of my girlfriend sends my iPhone, Macbooks and iPad a request to share the wifi password (we're both connected to).


I receive this message every single time I wake my iPhone.


Is there a possibility to turn off this feature, so the MacBook Air of my girlfriend won't send me these request anymore?


(we both have the latest software updates on all of our devices)


Thanks!

If either device has Personal Hotspot on, turn it off.


As well as > System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing, and make sure that it is disabled.


Reboot the router and modem if needed.
