Do you have many wifi networks that you have connected to, and you have
forgotten their passwords, and you want to share the wifi password with your
friends or with your neighbor, I think that the solutions that I will
provide for you in this article will help you a lot.
For Android devices, it does not offer any option to
show the hidden passwords of the WiFi networks that you are connected
to, so you will need to do some research in order to be able to show the
hidden WiFi network in your device.
In the two methods that I will explain, you do not need to install root on
your device, only with some free applications that we will download, we will
be able to access the password of the wifi network connected to your device.
Show wifi key via QR Scanner Application (Android v10 or up)
For the first method to find network security key wifi we will use
the QR Scanner app, which is an Android app for scanning QR codes, which
will enable us to scan the QR wifi of the network connected with our
device.
Before the wifi passphrase extraction process, make sure that your Android
device is version 10 or higher, because this version supports qr code to
connect to wifi, meaning that a version less than 10 will not work with
this method.
If your device is less than the Android 10 version, go directly to the
second method, although it is a bit complicated, but I am sure that if you
follow the explanation as it is, you will be able to extract the
wireless password for wifi easily.
The first stage - Get QR code wifi password
I will explain the method on the Samsung phone, but the method will not
differ in any other non-samsung devices as long as your device is updated to
version 10 or higher.
Go to the settings of your device, then click on the option Connections,
then go to the option WI-FI.
From the wifi network you are currently connected to, press the gear button to
display the settings of the network you are connected to.
From the information of the Wi-Fi network that you are currently connected to,
click on the QR code option.
- After pressing the QR code button, a QR code of the current network you
are connected to will appear
- Take a screenshot from your phone of the QR code because we will use it
later.
The second stage - view saved wifi password in Android
Now we need an application for scanning QR codes, and I think that the
QR Scanner application
will help us with that, in addition to that, it is free to download from the
Play Store.
If you do not want to use the QR Scanner application, you can download any
application similar to it provided that it allows scanning the images loaded
on the device.
Enter the QR Scanner application and click on the Scanner Image option.
The application will transfer us to the file manager of our device, and from
it, we will choose the image of the QR Code that we have taken a screenshot
of before, click it.
The application will show you the image that you have chosen, just press the
correct button at the top to start scanning the QR Code.
Congratulations, the password for the network you are currently connected to
have been retrieved.
Showing the network security key on router from Android device
We mentioned in the title that we will
show the wifi router password via the phone, specifically through the
Android device, but why not explain the same method but through the
computer, because it is much easier than trying it on the phone.
The method is a bit complicated, but I am sure that if you follow the
explanation as it is, you will be able to implement it, and you will be able
to get wifi password from android or pc easily.
As for the type of router that I will be testing on is my router, which is a
“D-Link” type, so it is possible that the type of settings you have is
different depending on the Wi-Fi router you own.
But this is not important because all routers follow the same method in
hiding the password, and the method will show you the password of the Wi-Fi
to which you are currently connected.
very important note, make sure that you can access the router settings,
through the login page, which you can access via the browser from the link
“http://192.168.1.1/”.
As for the router's username and password, all router admin password most can access their settings by entering the word “admin” in the username, and “admin” in the password, unless it has been changed from the settings.

applications that enables us to retrieve the wifi password of the router
