WiFi passwords are easy to forget.In this article, we showed you how to find out WiFi password on Android, iOS and Windows devices.Wi-Fi has been a part of our lives for so long that we underestimate it and make it so easy to forget.The Wi-Fi password is usually not required again, but can be changed via the modem interface once entered.In this context, many people wonder how the Wi-Fi password learning process works, let alone changing the Wi-Fi password.As you can imagine, each platform has its own style.Both are operating systems for mobile phones, but Android and iOS are very different in this respect.Microsoft Windows, on the other hand, is where things get most easily done.The easiest way to find your WiFi password is to use a computer with Windows operating system.Note that although Windows 7 and Windows 8 follow a very similar path, Windows 10 is used in the path we will tell.There are several ways to find your Wi-Fi password in Windows.Initially, you can only learn the password of the Wi-Fi network you are connected to.Using cmd, you can also see the passwords of all Wi-Fi networks that my computer has previously connected to.Right-click the WiFi icon in the taskbar and open Network & Internet Settings.Click Change Adapter Options on the page that opens.On the page that opens, find your Wi-Fi network, right-click it and click the Status button.Open the Wireless Properties page from the displayed section.Finally, go to the Security tab and enable Show Characters.You have now learned your WLAN password.Type "cmd" or "command prompt" in the windows search box and run as administrator.Enter the following code in cmd:This command lists all the Wi-Fi networks your computer has previously connected to.Change the name of the network you want to learn as "NETWORK NAME" in the code below and press Enter.'netsh wlan show profile "NETWORK NAME" key=clear'You will be able to see the name of the Wi-Fi network in the section below that says "Key Content".How can I know my Wi-Fi password?(Android)Until a few years ago, there was no chance to learn my Wi-Fi password from unrooted Android phones.However, some manufacturers, such as Huawei, offer the ability to share WiFi networks using a QR code system.In fact, with Android 10, Google made this one of the main features of Android.However, if you don't want to share your Wi-Fi network, you just want to know the password, you will need Android admin access.That's why you should use a rooted phone.First of all, let me state that this method is not for everyone.If you root your phone and find the Wi-Fi password, you take full responsibility.Open Google Play Store on your rooted phone and download Solid Explorer File Manager.Open the app and click on the three lines in the upper right corner.Open the root folder in the storage partition.Click on the data folder in the opened section.A warning is displayed in Solid Explorer.Click Grant to allow the application.Click Other Locations.Click where it says WiFi.Open the 'wpa_supplicant.conf' file.You need a text editor like SE to open it.WARNING: Never modify an open wpa_supplicant.conf file.Here are the configurations required for Wi-Fi to work.In the opened file, find the psk entry in the section where your network partition is located.The part after the equal sign is the WiFi password.You can copy this section and use it whenever you want.Similar to Android, iOS does not allow you to find your Wi-Fi password directly on your mobile device.You will need a Mac computer and an app to do this.But if you don't want to know your WiFi password and want to share it with others, there is a solution for that too.Make sure your operating system is iOS 11 or higher.Keep the phone numbers of the people whose passwords you want to share in your contacts.Add your friend's iCloud account to your device.Have a friend add your iCloud account to their device.Turn on Bluetooth on both devices.Go to WiFi and press the WiFi network you want to share.A box appears in front of you.Say "Share password" to share your Wi-Fi network with your friends.To enable the Keychain feature, go to Settings > iCloud > Keychain on your iPhone.Go back to Settings and turn on Personal Hotspot.From your Mac, connect to your personal hotspot network opened on your iPhone.Turn on Keychain Access in the Spotlight app.Find the Wi-Fi network your iPhone is connected to and check the Show Password box.Now you have learned the WiFi password.
