Help Restore WiFi passwords via Google Backup from DNA to S5

[cosmicdust]

The "backup" on my DROID DNA says it backs up to Google the "WiFi passwords" - any idea how to restore those to another phone? I have a Galaxy S5 now. What a waste if I have to ASK FOR and re-enter the several dozen passwords. :-( Thanks, Android.

Try going to Settings > Backup & reset > Backup account and select the account you backed up with. Add the account if necessary. Be warned, it will put all the stuff backed up to that account on the phone. You don't get to pick 'WiFi passwords only'.

Thanks. It already is the same account on both phones. The passwords/networks did not transfer over. Am I missing something?

Not sure what is wrong. I just did this recently on a couple of phones and it worked OK. Make sure backup settings and automatic restore are enabled - that's all I can think of.
