Viewing Wi-Fi Passwords on Android
It is important to access the root files on your Android device. These roots files can be accessed if you have a file explorer installed on your device.
- You need to download ES File Explorer on your Android device. The pre-installed file explorer cannot be used to access the root files.
- Install ES File Explorer and open the app. Under Tools, scroll down to Root Explorer and enable it. Here you will be able to view a file directory data.
- Click on Data --> Misc --> WiFi folder.
- In WiFi folder search for a file name wpa_supplicant.conf. Open the file with any of the editors on your phone.
- Open it using the ES File Explorer’s built-in text/HTML viewer. In this you will be able to find the SSID network and their passwords.
- Find your SSID or network name and find the password next to it.
Viewing Wi-Fi Passwords on iOS
In order to retrieve Wi-Fi password on your iOS device, you need a jailbroken Apple device.
- Download and install a nifty tweak called the Network list available at the Cydia store.
- After installation go to the Wi-Fi settings on the device and you will find a new option ‘Network passwords’ or ‘Known passwords’. This depends on the version of your iOS device.
- Tap on the option and you can see all the network passwords stored on your Apple device.
- You cannot copy these on your Notepad. So just write it down on a paper or memorize the passwords.
