If you’re like most people, you use your smartphone to stay connected while on the go. Whether you’re checking email, browsing the web, or catching up on your favorite show, having a fast and reliable Wi-Fi connection is essential. Unfortunately, not all hotspots are created equal. Some are slow and unreliable, while others are downright terrible. To make sure you always have a great Wi-Fi experience, be sure to save your passwords for the best hotspots. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Open your phone’s Settings app and scroll down to Wireless & Networks.
  2. Tap on the name of the network you want to access and then tap on Save Password.
  3. Enter a password that’s at least 8 characters long and make sure it’s easy to remember. You’ll need this password later when you’re connecting to a good Wi-Fi spot.
  4. Tap Save Password again and then close Settings app. ..

To do the task, you don’t have to root your phone or use a third-party app. Simply tap an option in your phone’s Settings app, and you’ll see the password for each saved network. Note that you’ll have to authorize yourself using your fingerprint or PIN to reveal the saved passwords.

To begin revealing your saved passwords, launch Settings on your Android phone. Note that the steps below will slightly vary depending on the phone model you have.

In Settings, choose “Wi-Fi & Network.”

On the “Wi-Fi & Network” page, select “Wi-Fi.”

Tap “Saved Networks” to view your saved wireless networks.

On the network list, find and tap your Wi-Fi network. Then, on the page that follows, choose “Share.”

Authenticate yourself using your fingerprint or PIN. Then, you’ll see a QR code on your screen.

Right beneath the QR code, next to “Wi-Fi password,” you’ll find your selected network’s password.

You can now use this password to connect your other devices to your wireless network. Another way to do that is to scan the QR code with your other device and it’ll connect to your network.

Happy networking!

In addition to Android, you can view saved Wi-Fi passwords on your Windows 11, Windows 10, Mac, and other devices.
