HOW TO Easily See Passwords for Wi-Fi Networks You've Connected Your Android Device To

Easily See Passwords for Wi-Fi Networks You've Connected Your Android Device To

Have you ever gone to a friend's house and notasked for the Wi-Fi password? Probably not, and the same can likely be said of any friends that come over to your place. But the actual act of sharing Wi-Fi passwords is still incredibly clunky, and it's particularly hard if you have a nice and secure password with uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

To help with this process, developer CrotaNexus has released a free app that lets you view the passwords for all of the Wi-Fi networks you've ever connected to on your phone. You do have to be rooted to use this application, but you'll be able to see saved Wi-Fi passwords on almost any rooted device, then easily share them. CrotaNexus has also created a thread on XDA where you can provide feedback and report bugs, so be sure to check that.
