How To View Saved Wifi Passwords In Android Mobile

🔎 First of all, you need a file explorer that gives you the read access to the root folder. If your default File manager doesn’t give you the read access to the root folder, then you can install Root Explorer or Super Manager which will grant superuser permission to you to access the system folder

1⃣ Go to data/misc/wifi folder, and you will find a file named wpa_supplicant.conf.

2⃣ Open the file and make sure to open the file in a built-in text/HTML viewer for the task. Now in this file, you will be able to see the network SSID and their passwords next to it.
