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 CAN WE MOTIVATE OURSELVES MORE EFFECTIVELY THROUGH REINFORCEMENT?

•We'd all like to be more effective in reaching our goals, and according to behaviorists, the way to improve our effectiveness is by rewarding ourselves for the little steps that take us closer and closer to those desirable outcomes.  •First, find something you really like to do or something you'd like to have that can, realistically, serve as a reward.  •Then, take the goal that you are hoping to achieve that, realistically, you could achieve but just haven't succeeded at yet.  •Next, work backward from that goal to your present state.  •Arrange to give yourself those desired rewards as you inch closer from where you are now to the desired end point.  •As you start to make progress, only give yourself a reward when you've moved forward from where you are now.  •For example, if you'd like to cut back on your television watching and instead read more often, reward yourself by allowing yourself to watch television only when you've read for 20 minutes,

WHY DO WE SLEEP AND DREAM?

•We spend about one-third of our lives sleeping.  •Why do we invest so much time in sleep?  •The most straight forward answer is that, sleep is restorative, and it replenishes the body's energy stores.  •However, intense neural activity during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, the stage in which most dreams occur, suggests there may be more to the story.  •One theory, which by far has the largest body of evidence, is that sleep plays a critical role in learning and consolidating memories.  •It is probably why infants and toddlers need up to 14 hours of sleep a day, with half of it spent in REM sleep.  •In adults, dreams may also play a role in brain plasticity and learning, which is why sleep-deprived adults perform worse in memory tests and tasks.
