You’ve probably connected your Android smartphone to dozens of Wi-Fi networks. Whether it is at home, the nearest Starbucks or a hotel every time you connect to a new network by entering the Wi-Fi password, your Android phone saves it for easy access.
Besides helping you connect quickly, saved Wi-Fi passwords may come in handy when you connect your smartphone to a specific Wi-Fi network and then forget its password. That said, in case you don’t remember your password too then there are several ways to find it out right within your smartphone settings as detailed in the steps below:
