How can i see the passwords of the WiFi networks I've saved?

How can i see the passwords of the WiFi networks I've saved? I ask because currently, the passwords are invisible.

A related question: I would like a spreadsheet or document automatically created and appended every time I successfully connect to a password-restricted WiFi network. I would like the SSID and wifi password to be saved? I would like to have this info stored on a Google Document or Google Spreadsheet. Is this possible? How can I do this?

Hi. If you have root access it's really easy. You just need to use a file explorer with root access and navigate to /data/misc/wifi/ and look for wpa_supplicant.conf

This is a plain text file containing all wifi routers you've connected to and the password (if applicable)

Example:

network={
	ssid="FBI Surveilance Van"
	psk="1234567890"
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
	priority=62
}

Ssid = the router name
Psk = the password

Yes, I do have root access. I have a /data/ folder but it's empty. I also have /data1/, /data2/, and /data3/ folders, but these three folders are also empty.

You have to use a file explorer with root access. I prefer Estrongs file explorer.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop

Once you open it, press menu. Then select tools and turn on root explorer.

Now select the current folder

Then select device

And navigate to /data/misc/wifi/


Profit

Thanks, lordvincent 90. I neglected to turn on root access. But after doing so, I could see all the previously invisible files and folders. Is there a way to automaticaly have this wpa_supplicant.conf file uploaded to my Google Drive, every time a new password is added?

Hi, there are quite a few apps on the appstore that will do this, one is called WiFi Password Recovery

freakin' awesome. I will be backing this file up whenever I have changes.
