Find saved wifi password on Android device

Hi Friends.. I am back with a new hack on Android devices. Few of my friends were asking how to find saved wifi password on Android device. So I decided to tell all of you via my blog. This trick will work on any android device with any version.

Whenever we connect to a wireless network and punch in the password. After successful connection we cant find the field where we have typed in the password because it has been stored on a configuration file. But the best part is that it get saved in a non-encrypted plaintext format.

Prerequisite to extract password : You got to have a rooted android device, as we have to search for a file in Root file system. And a good file explorer like ES Explorer.

Open the file explorer and grant the file explorer root privileges. Navigate back to the root directory "/".
Navigate to --> data > misc > wifi.

Open the file wpa_supplicant.conf in any text editor. And voila you can see all of the passwords of your previously connected networks.

network={
ssid="example wpa-psk network"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
psk="secret passphrase"
}

Or you can also download an app from the link below if you don't want to search manually for it. For running this app you must have root privileges.
