Wi-Fi is a common tool now a days readily available in almost all locations, but have you ever tried retrieving a forgotten password from your device. But have you ever thought that you can See passwords for WiFi networks connected to your Android Phones.
School, home, work, your friends’ and family’s houses, coffee shops—each time you typed in one of these Wi-Fi passwords, your Android device saved it. The only trouble here is that you can’t view the saved Wi-Fi passwords that your device has stored.
Perhaps you want to connect a second device to one of these networks, or you’re with a friend who wants to log in to the same network, but without a way to access the actual passwords that you will not get anywhere.
How to See passwords of previously connected Wi-Fi networks
Developer Alexandros Schillings decided to remedy this issue with an app that allows you to view every Wi-Fi password. It will access your Android device. The app requires root access, but beyond that, it makes finding and sharing your stored Wi-Fi passwords incredibly easy.
Schillings’ app is called Wi-Fi Key Recovery, available on the Google Play Store for free. Search the app by name to get it installed on your rooted device, or head directly to the install page at this link.
When you first launch Wi-Fi Key Recovery, the app will ask for Superuser access. Tap “Grant” on the popup, then you’ll be taken to a list containing all of the Wi-Fi networks that you’ve ever connected to, where each entry shows a password in the “psk” field.
If you’ve connected to many different Wi-Fi networks over the course of owning your Android device, your list may be quite long. If that’s the case, you can search for a particular Wi-Fi network by using the “SSID Quick-search” field.
And there you go life gets easy again just by downloading an app. Like they always say that there always will be an app to sort out your troubles. Developers will be working to add this ability to your android app without rooting.
