How To View Wi-Fi Password Of Network Your Android Connects

It’s easy to forget the password of your own network, especially if you’ve just set it up. When such a thing happens, more often than not, your options are to call your Internet Service Provider or reset your router, which means you will have to set it up again.

But the good news is you can actually view Wi-Fi password by using a different phone. That’s what I’m going to show in this post, but I’m assuming that you’re using a phone running Android 9 or higher.

Phones without a built-in QR scanner

If your phone doesn’t have a built-in QR scanner, then you have to download a scanner from the Play Store. Search for ‘qr scanner’ and look for apps that have high review ratings. In this tutorial, I used the QR Code Reader app by BACHA Soft (please note that we’re not affiliated with the developer of this app.)

Once you’ve downloaded and installed the app, open the scanner and scan the QR code. Most of the time, the information will be displayed immediately after scanning with the password clearly visible.  

So now, you don’t have to reset your router or call your service provider. 

There are QR scanners that don’t display network information so look for apps that do the job well. And also, Samsung phones with built-in QR scanners don’t display the password, they would just connect you right away to the network. 

I hope that we’ve been able to help you with this quick guide.
