How to see saved WiFi password from an Android phone ?
Ever connected to a Wi-Fi network with your Android phone and want to see the password of that network? In many cases, users are connected to a Wi-Fi but have forgotten the password and can no longer enter the password on another new device.
Do not worry! In this article, we are with you to teach you how to view the Wi-Fi password stored on your Android phone.
How to see WiFi password without Root?
If your Android smartphone has Android 10 or higher , you can view the Wi-Fi network password without rooting the phone. The process of viewing the Wi-Fi password may vary depending on the Android version and your phone type.
To view the Wi-Fi password in Android 10 or higher, go to your phone's settings and go to the Internet & network section (Network & internet). Tap Wi-Fi to see the network or modem you are connected to at the top of the list. Select the desired Wi-Fi (or network that is stored on your phone and already connected to it) to view network options.
On this page, tap Share, and after doing so, provide your PIN, fingerprint, or face scan to continue. After this step, you will see your WiFi password at the bottom of a QR code.
If the Wi-Fi password is not displayed here, scan the QR code with another device to add it to the network.
View WiFi password on Android 9 and below
If you have an older smartphone that supports Android 9 or lower and you do not see the above options in general, do not worry. We have another solution! Of course, this solution requires a rooted phone.
This is because the file that holds the Wi-Fi network information is located in a security section of your phone. This is why you can not see the relevant folder or the information inside it without rooting.
After rooting your Android phone, you need to go to / data / misc / wifi using a file search application (which supports Root Browsing). Open wpa_supplicant.conf and here you should see the network name (SSID) and its password (psk).
If this method does not work for you, you can use a Wi-Fi password viewer. For example, the WiFi Password Viewer app can get you started. This program allows you to select your desired Wi-Fi network and view its password.
Of course, it should be noted that these programs require root and may not be responsive to some users. If your phone has encrypted the file containing the Wi-Fi passwords, this app can not do much.
See WiFi password from another device!
