How Do I Find Wifi Password on Phone

You're likely to forget your WiFi password over time. If someone inquires, you may be unaware of what it is. Perhaps you haven't used it in an extended period of time.

Whether you're throwing a party or running a small business, you need to be able to view and share your Wi-Fi password. However, you also require security and convenience. This is how to locate the wifi password on your phone.

How Do I Find Wifi Password on Phone

For Android Users (Android 10 and Newer Versions)

1. To begin, you must be connected to the Wi-Fi network for which you wish to view the password. If you are already connected, you may skip this step.

2. Navigate to System Preferences > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi.

3. Select the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected.

4. Click Share.

5. Log in to your device's security settings. This may be accomplished by the use of a biometric fingerprint, face recognition, or a pin number.

6. A QR code and password will appear.

7. On a second device, you can login without inputting a password by scanning the presented QR code with the QR scanner. Compatible with both Android and iOS.

8. If that fails, enter the password displayed on the second device.

For Android Users (Android 9 and Older Versions)

On an unrooted Android 9 or older phone, there is no method to access Wi-Fi passwords directly. However, if you have a rooted phone, you may accomplish this via third-party apps. Take the actions outlined below.

8. In the Search box, type the name of the Wi-Fi network and click on it. Then check the box next to Display password.

The password for the Wi-Fi network is now visible in the field.
