How to Find Saved WiFi Passwords on Your Device
Introduction:
As our dependency on the internet increases, so does the need to access WiFi networks effortlessly. At times, we might forget the password to a particular WiFi network we once connected to, but fortunately, many devices allow you to view saved WiFi passwords easily.
Android:
For Android devices, you can typically find saved WiFi passwords in the settings. Go to Settings, then Network & Internet, followed by WiFi. Select the network you are connected to and tap on the 'Share' or 'Show password' option to view the password.
