Unlike Windows for desktops, Android does not offer an option to show you saved WiFi passwords on your device. So, before you determine that there is no way to see stored WiFi passwords on your smartphone and give up, let me tell you that there is an easy way of achieving that. Actually, there are various ways how to view any WiFi password stored on your Android. As you may already guess, in this article I will show you the simplest ones. First, let me tell you that for any of these methods to work, you must use a rooted Android device. Now, let’s begin.
Wifi Password(ROOT)
Wifi Password(ROOT) is an Android app that will allow you to view any WiFi password stored on your Android. Keep in mind that none of the mentioned apps in this post isn’t a Wi-Fi password cracker, including this one. This app works on pretty straightforward approach. It accesses the file in your phone memory where the Android system stores all the WiFi networks that you’ve ever used. Then, it reads the passwords and shows them to you in a sorted form. When you see the list of the WiFi networks and passwords, you can just click on any of the results, and the password will automatically copy to the clipboard. Don’t forget that if you want this procedure to be successful, you need to use a rooted device. If you are interested here is the link to the Google Play Store, take a look Wifi Password(ROOT).
