Use a third-party file manager to view saved password on Android mobile (Rooted)

At first, you have to download and install the third-party file manager that must have root explorer option. According to me I always use ES File Explorer (Root only). If you don’t have it, click on download.

After installing it, take permission from your custom ROM for granting the root explorer access.

Then go to the Device option then Data then Mise and at last go to WiFi folder. Open your Wi-Fi folder. Now you will look for another file name called ” wpa_supplicant.conf .”

Now open the “ES Note Editor.” Hence you see Network with SSID (Your Wifi network name), psk (Your wifi password), key_mgmt (Your security type of wifi) and so on.

So, you can find the saved Wi-Fi password on psk code.

With the help of Wifi Key Recovery (needs root) application

There is also another way to see the password saved on your Android device. You should use “Wi-Fi key recovery” which is also a third-party Android application easily available on the Internet market. If you don’t have it, click on download. But this application also needs to grant root permission. Because at first, I have told you without making root you cannot access this options.

First, you have to download and install the application on your device. When you open the app, it will ask you to grant root permission to access. Just give authorization.

Now this application will automatically scan your whole device and show you the saved wifi password as psk and also the network ID as SSID easily. Now just copy the password and paste on your notepad.
