How to See a Wi-Fi Password on Android Devices – Guide

Need to find the password of the WiFi network for which your phone is connected? Looking at a network password can be important for a number of reasons, here and there you may not have remembered the secret key of a saved network, or sometimes you prefer not to connect others to a WiFi you are currently connected to. I have no idea about the password. In fact, to take care of you, we will inform you of some methods to discover the WiFi secret key connected to your phone.

To find a Wi-Fi password on Android 10 and higher devices

  • To find the Wi-Fi password on Android 10 and later devices, please follow the steps mentioned below:
  • Open the Device Settings app and go to Network & Internet.
  • Look for the Wi-Fi option in the list and tap it; you will see the Wi-Fi networks connected on your phone.
  • On the same Wi-Fi page you will see Saved networks (on some devices Advanced Settings), click on it and the device will display your saved Wi-Fi networks.
  • Choose the network from the list you want to locate and access the password by verifying the password or fingerprint.
  • On the next screen, there is a QR code to share the Wi-Fi network with other devices. Right below the QR code, you will find your network’s Wi-Fi password.

    • To find a Wi-Fi password on Android 9 and earlier devices

  • This method works on Android smartphones and tablets running on Android 9 and earlier devices.
  • You’ll find several apps on the Google Play Store that claim to show your saved Wi-Fi passwords. You can use any of them, but we are using a Wi-Fi Password Viewer app in this example. Download and install Wi-Fi Password Viewer [ROOT].
  • Launch the Wi-Fi Password Viewer app on your device. When starting the app for the first time, it will ask for a superuser request. Grant permission on screen pop-up.
  • You will be taken to the main page where you will see the list of your saved Wi-Fi networks. Now select the Wi-Fi network from the list for which you want to see the password.
  • When you click on a Wi-Fi network, a screen displays a different option. If you want to copy the network password, click “Copy password”, copy it to a clipboard and send it to another device that connects easily. You can also tap the “Share”Option to share your password with other users using the share menu.
  • You can also tap the “QR” option to generate a QR code containing network information.

    • Find Wi-Fi password on rooted Android device (using an app)

  • Without Android 10 or higher version on Android devices, you cannot see Wi-Fi network password if your smartphone is not rooted. Download and install any friendly file explorer like ES File Explorer to find the Wi-Fi password on your device.
  • Launch the application, look for Root Explorer and enable it. The Root Explorer option will only be visible if you have a device with root access.
  • Now, in the Device section, navigate to data > misc > Wi-Fi and click on the conf file.
  • When you click on the conf file, a screen appears that allows you to open files in ES Note Editor and HTML Viewer. Select HTML Viewer to open the file and you will see Wi-Fi name in ssid and password in psk.
