How to find WiFi passwords on your Android device 

By -




Did you know your Android device saves the WiFi password for every network? There are many reasons you might want to find a WiFi network password. Whether that’s because you lost or forgot the password, or because you don’t want to dig out the router and find the info on the bottom. Another reason is to share the password with friends, family members, or to sign into the network with a different device.

If you don’t have the password there’s a way to find the stored information on your Android device. As long as your phone has root access you can see the WiFi password for any network you’ve used.

Download ES File Explorer

Open the app and go to Local

Open Device Folder and select Data

Locate and open Misc folder

Scroll down and click on WiFi

Open the folder wpa_supplicant.conf (or wep_supplicant.conf if the networkd uses WEP instead of WPA)
From here, your phone will show a list of text that details every WiFi network you’ve ever connected to. These text files show the WiFi name, password and security type, and yes, the WiFi password access key. It’s easier to read the wpa_supplicant.conf file with a text editor, so open it in plain text.

Now, simply scroll through all the saved WiFi networks until you find the one you’re looking for, or search for the SSID (network name) of your WiFi. Scroll through the info until you find SSID and PSK, we want the latter of the two.

To the right of PSK will be the password for the WiFi network. That’s it. We’re all done, and now you can share the password with friends or family, write it down, and put it somewhere safe. This works great for hotel WiFi and things of that nature.

Successful relationships face up to the reality of life. The partners do not hide behind a façade, neither do they make up their own reality of life. Life is as it is. What you see may not agree with your innermost fantasies, but what is what there is. You cannot confess away your reality neither can you hide from it. You must look at it in the face if you want your relationship to succeed.

Instead of living in denial, telling yourself that he or she will change with time, tell yourself that this is who he or she wish is.

Being aware of the fact that the entire CAPS(central admission processing system) process is still all new to JAMB candidates, most student may not see the need of visiting the portal at all, I for one has seen series cases whereby student tell themselves in various social media platform to forget about CAPS, in case you don’t know they are consequences when you decide not to accept your admission status on CAPS.
