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.

Why do the Indian telecom operators offer their services with 28 days validity, not 30 days?😡😡

Here telecom operator are very clever, b ecause telecom operators want to earn money of 13 months instead of 12 months. Let do the calculation and find out why telecom operators are offering 28 days validity. Each month they get 2 days more, therefore in a year they get additional 24 days. There are 7 month which has 31 days so they get additional 7 days.Now in case of February ,it has only 28 days not 30. So the total number of days they get are=24+7-2=29 days. So if you recharge 12 times then more 29 days are left in a year.🤔🤔 Means for another 29 days you have to recharge from that telecom operator.😫😫 So you have to recharge 13 times in a year instead of 12 times in a year. So telecom operators provide 28 days validity only. First one telecom operator started and then another telecom operators also understood this concept and they also applied 28 days validity both in data packs and voice packs.😱😱😱

How Electronic ink works?

Used increasingly in digital products, how does this technology work? Electronic ink (or electrophoretic ink) consists of millions of microcapsules. Each one contains positively charged white particles and negatively charged black particles, all suspended within a clear ﬂuid. When these microcapsules are subjected to a positive or negative electric ﬁeld, the corresponding particles rise to the top, becoming visible to the eye and colouring that microcapsule. eBook reader displays coat electronic ink onto a sheet of plastic ﬁlm, which in turn is laminated to a layer of circuitry. This circuitry forms a pattern of pixels that can be controlled by the display’s software driver, allowing images and text to be displayed in the form of a traditional page of physical paper. Electronic ink displays differ from LCDs by utilising ambient light to illuminate pixels, with the rays merely reﬂecting off their surface. This means they have very low power demand, a...
