How to find Forgotten WiFi passwords in
Android Phones
Getting to
locate or unveil already saved Wifi passwords in an Android device is quite
difficult, as you need to access a folder saved in its root directory, which doesn’t
allow or give access to users. But in this case, you need to get elevated to
administrator privileges in other to be able to access the folder for the wifi
passwords. Below is how to go about that on your android devices.

First of all,
you need to get your android rooted so as to access such folder with root
directory. Ones your phone is rooted, you will be able to access and see the
saved Wi-Fi passwords for free.


Now, it is
assumed that your Android device is rooted. And to locate the wifi password
inside your mobile phone, you need to use either a file manager, for example: Solid Explorer to manually search for the WiFi passwords, or you can go by using
a powerful dedicated app to have all the passwords extracted automatically. So
in other words, I recommend you to use a third-party app because it is more
intuitive and easier to use for managing and sharing your Wi-Fi passwords.

To cut the long
story short, I recommend you use Wifi Password Show app. The app is free to use. All you need to do, is to download
and install it on your rooted android device. After that, launch the app, and
you will get to see the list of all saved WiFi passwords along with their SSID. Now copy the listed data and get
your Android device connected to Wifi network. You can even share the listed
data either by SMS or via Email messaging, the choice is yours.

Alternatively,
should in case you wish to move your saved WiFi passwords from one device to
another, then you are not required to root your device. This is because, Google
automatically back up your stored Wifi passwords in its servers and with other
important data(s).

So, it is rest
assured that your passwords are backed up by Google if you enabled backup on
your Android settings. Now log in to your Google
account
using another Android device, and after that, all your WiFi
networks information will automatically get synced in that new Android phone
you logged your account with. That’s all for Android phones.

unless they jailbreak the device. Now to get your wifi passwords in a
jailbroken iOS device, simply search “see

immediately, you will get to see multiple
apps

for those with non-jailbroken iOS devices, in other to get the solution regarding
to finding your WiFi passwords, you need to get a MacOS device so as to enable

explained above for Android users. All you need to do, is to enable iCloud Keychain; that is handy in syncing
your passwords presently saved in your Apple devices, including that of WiFi
passwords.
