Since you have your Android device, you’ve undoubtedly connected it to dozens of Wi-Fi networks, and it keeps each one intact. Every time you punch in a Wi-Fi password, whether it’s from home, school, work, gym, coffee shop, a relative’s apartment, or even a friend’s phone, your Android device Saves it for safekeeping and easy access later.
The problem arises when you need to see the password of a network to which you are already connected. Whether you want to connect another device to a saved wireless access point, or perhaps you’re sharing a hotspot with a friend.

The simple text password for a Wi-Fi network can be found in your device’s settings, but it’s not immediately obvious. If you have an Android skin on your phone or tablet, such as a Samsung Galaxy, it will be less noticeable than if you were using stock Android on a Google Pixel model. In any case, finding saved Wi-Fi passwords will be much easier than on an iPhone or iPad.
Every device, including a computer or smartphone, requires a password that has been set up and to use the router to connect to the Wi-Fi network. If you connect your smartphone to a Wi-Fi network, the data will be saved immediately, so you won’t need to re-enter the Wi-Fi password.
