If you’re like most people, you probably have a few saved Wi-Fi passwords scattered around your device. If you’re not careful, they could easily get lost or stolen. To keep your Wi-Fi passwords safe, make sure to:

  1. Keep them in a safe place. One way to do this is to store them on your computer or another device that you can access from anywhere.
  2. Use different passwords for different devices. If you use the same password for your computer and your phone, it’s easy to forget which one applies to which device. Make sure each password has at least two different letters and at least one number in it.
  3. Use unique passwords for each account. If you have multiple accounts with different providers, make sure each account has a unique password so that if one account is compromised, the other accounts are still protected.

To do the task, you don’t have to root your phone or use a third-party app. Simply tap an option in your phone’s Settings app, and you’ll see the password for each saved network. Note that you’ll have to authorize yourself using your fingerprint or PIN to reveal the saved passwords.

View Saved Wi-Fi Passwords on Android

To begin revealing your saved passwords, launch Settings on your Android phone. Note that the steps below will slightly vary depending on the phone model you have.

In Settings, choose “Wi-Fi & Network.”

On the “Wi-Fi & Network” page, select “Wi-Fi.”

Tap “Saved Networks” to view your saved wireless networks.

On the network list, find and tap your Wi-Fi network. Then, on the page that follows, choose “Share.”

Authenticate yourself using your fingerprint or PIN. Then, you’ll see a QR code on your screen.

Right beneath the QR code, next to “Wi-Fi password,” you’ll find your selected network’s password.

You can now use this password to connect your other devices to your wireless network. Another way to do that is to scan the QR code with your other device and it’ll connect to your network.

Happy networking!

In addition to Android, you can view saved Wi-Fi passwords on your Windows 11, Windows 10, Mac, and other devices.
