How To See Passwords for Wi-Fi Networks You've Connected Your Android Device To

    The trouble comes when you want to actually see the password for one of the networks you connected to. Perhaps you want to connect a second device to a saved Wi-Fi access point, or maybe you're with a friend who wants to log in to the same hotspot. But without a way to access the actual passwords that your device has stored, you're out of luck.

Thankfully, there are ways around this. If you're on Android 10 or higher, you can see Wi-Fi passwords right from your phone's settings. However, if you're on Android 9.0 Pie or lower, note that you will need to be rooted.

Method : Android 10 & Up

This first method doesn't require root or even an extra app. But it does require that your phone is running Android 10 or higher. If your phone has been updated to this version, I'll outline a quick and easy way to see saved Wi-Fi passwords below.

Step 1: Locate Wi-Fi Settings
 Currently, there is only one flavor of Android 10, and that's the "Stock Android" version directly from Google. However, in the near future, manufacturers like Samsung will put their own spin on Android 10 by applying an OEM skin such as One UI, which means the settings menus could be a little different on your phone.

 So first, search your phone's Settings menu for the "Wi-Fi" submenu. On Stock Android, that's located in Settings –> Network & internet. Once you've found the Wi-Fi settings menu, go ahead and select it.

Step 2: View Wi-Fi Passwords

 One inside the Wi-Fi settings page, scroll past the list of available networks and select the "Saved networks" option. From there, you'll see a list of all the Wi-Fi networks your phone remembers. Select one.

 Now, choose the "Share" option towards the top of the screen. You'll be asked to scan your fingerprint or face or enter your PIN or password. Upon doing so, you'll see a QR code with that represents the network's SSID and password. You could scan this with another device using a QR scanner if you wanted, but the password is also listed in plain text beneath the QR code, so you can copy it from there.

How Energy conversion from coal is done?

By
Single generator sets of over 600 MW are now used in the UK, though there are many smaller generators in use. A 600 MW generator can supplythe average needs of over 1 million UK households. Three or four such generators are typically installed in a single large coal-fired station which isoften sited close to a coal mine, away from the city dwellers who consume the electricity. Such generators are usually driven by a compound arrangement of highpressure, intermediate-pressure and low-pressure turbines, increasing in size as the pressure decreases. Modern turbines rotate in a speed range from 1500 to 3500 r.p.m., usually 3000 r.p.m. for the UK’s 50 Hz system. For large coal-fired plant the steam pressure could be 25 megapascals (MPa) with steam temperatures of 500–600 °C to improve the thermodynamic efficiency. In nuclear reactors, which operate under less demanding conditions, the steam is superheated to about 5 MPa and 300 °C. Modern water tube boilers are complex and have ...

How ASPs works?

The Web and the Internet began to really heat up and receive significant media exposure starting around 1994. Initially, the Web started as a great way for academics and researchers to distribute information; but as millions of consumers flocked to the Internet, it began to spawn completely new business models. Three good examples of innovative models include:   • Amazon - Amazon (which opened its doors in July, 1995) houses a database of millions of products that anyone can browse at any time. It would have been impossible to compile a list this large in any medium other than the Web.   • Ebay - Online auctions make it easy and inexpensive for millions of people to buy and sell any imaginable item. It would be impossible to do this at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner with any medium other than the Web.   • Epinions - Thousands of people contribute to a shared library of product reviews. One of the Web's greatest strengths is its worldwide view a...
