How to View Password for WiFi on Android

How to View WiFi Password on Android

When you connect your Android device to a WiFi network, the password is usually saved so you don't have to enter it every time you connect. However, there may be times when you need to retrieve the WiFi password for various reasons. Here's how you can view the saved WiFi password on your Android device:

1. Root Your Android Device: To view saved WiFi passwords, you need to have root access to your Android device. Rooting your device gives you access to system files and settings that are normally hidden.
2. Use a File Explorer App: Once your device is rooted, download and install a file explorer app that allows you to browse system files. Navigate to the root directory and look for the data folder.
3. Locate WiFi Password: Inside the data folder, navigate to the misc folder and then the WiFi folder. Here, you will find a file named wpa_supplicant.conf. Open this file using a text editor.
4. Find Your WiFi Network: In the wpa_supplicant.conf file, you will see a list of all the WiFi networks your device has connected to. Find the network for which you want to view the password.
5. View Password: Next to the SSID (WiFi network name), you will see the PSK field, which contains the password for that network.
6. Save the Password: Note down the password and make sure to keep it secure. You can also use this method to view WiFi passwords on other devices.

It is important to note that rooting your Android device can void its warranty and may lead to security risks if not done properly. Proceed with caution and only root your device if you understand the risks involved.
