How to see the Wi-Fi password on the phone?
If your device has Android 10 or later, you can easily check the password of any Wi-Fi network. This method works for Pixel phones and many other manufacturers like Motorola, Nokia, and LG.
In the following, we will examine how to view the Wi-Fi password on Android phones:
- Â Open Settings and tap on Network & internet
- Tap on Internet
- Tap on the gear icon next to the Wi-Fi network
- Tap on the Share option

How to find Wi-Fi passwords on Samsung Galaxy devices?
Checking the saved Wi-Fi password on Samsung Galaxy phones is more complicated than other Android devices due to its use of One UI.
In this case, you need to generate a QR code to share your current Wi-Fi network.
This process only works for the network you are currently connected to.
