How to Retrieve Saved WiFi Passwords

Have you ever forgotten your WiFi password and needed to reconnect a device or share the network details with a friend? Retrieving a saved WiFi password can be helpful in such scenarios. Here's how you can view saved WiFi passwords on different devices:

For Windows:

- Go to the Control Panel and navigate to Network and Sharing Center.

For Mac:

- Open the 'Keychain Access' app.

- Type the name of your WiFi network in the search bar.

- Double-click the WiFi network and check the box next to 'Show password' after authenticating with your Mac's password.

For Android:

- You need a rooted Android device to view saved WiFi passwords.

- Install a file manager app that allows root access, such as ES File Explorer.

- Navigate to the data/misc/wifi directory and open the wpa_supplicant.conf file to view saved WiFi passwords in plaintext.
