How to Get the Wifi Password from Your Phone?

Wi-Fi password is the thing that everyone wants nowadays – since no one can live without Wi-Fi or the internet. But not everybody shares their password. If you ask someone for the Wi-Fi password, they will probably type it themselves – instead of telling you.

So, what will you do if you need to connect another device to the network or your friend asks for the password?

You can’t do anything in that situation since you don’t know the password. But don’t be left out – that’s because I have some killer methods you can use and get the Wi-Fi password that is saved on your smartphone.

How to Get the Wifi Password from Your Phone:

As I said, you can use many ways to get the Wi-Fi password from your phone. But those methods are different for certain versions of Android and devices. Let’s not delay and check out those methods:

Methods-1: Stock Android Devices (Android 10 and higher)

1. Go to the “Setting” on your device and find the “WiFi” or “Internet” submenu.
2. That submenu has saved the network and the current network. You should tap on a network whose password you want.
3. Under the Network name, you will see “Share”, where you have to tap.
