Hey guys, today i am gonna discuss the way to see the list of saved wifi password on your android phone. But before that make sure your android device has root access. If all set then let's jumped onto the practical.
There is configuration file in your android root directory which contains the list of saved wifi password but to get your hands into that directory, you need to have root access.
To see the list of password of your saved wifi network in your android phone follow the steps below but note that your phone must be rooted first...
1) Install terminal emulator on your rooted android phone. Go to play store and download it. The logo of this app is given below so make sure you are installing the right application.
2) Open terminal emulator and type the command given below.
3) Next command is cd command and the command goes below.
4) Then next command is cat command which goes below.
Note: cat command is used to display the content of a wpa_supplicant.conf file which contains all the saved wifi password.
Note: See the "psk" which is the password of your wifi. So if psk = 1234 So that means password corresponding to that wifi network is 1234 and ssid is the name of that particular wifi network.
5) That's it. Now type exit command two times to exit from terminal emulator where first exit command is to exit from root (notice the sign of "#" changes to "$" again that means you have left the root permission.) and second exit command is to exit or close the terminal emulator. Screenshot is given below.
That's it. You can now see the list of saved password of all the wifi network. So, that's it for today guys, we will be back soon. Till then like, share & subscribe my blog.

"su" (hit enter)
Note: "su" stands for super user. If you are getting error after typing this command then most probably you don't have the root access. So, it could be a better way to check whether or not your android device has been rooted. Also note that after typing su command "$" sign get changed to "#" which means root access. I am attaching the screenshot below.
3) Next command is cd command and the command goes below.
"cd /data/misc/wifi" (hit enter)
Note: cd stands for change directory. So by typing this command, we are jumping into the path of directory which is /data/misc/wifi.
4) Then next command is cat command which goes below.
"cat wpa_supplicant.conf" (hit enter)
Note: cat command is used to display the content of a wpa_supplicant.conf file which contains all the saved wifi password.
