Uncover Wifi Passwords on Android

When you forgot your long term wifi password and you don’t want to deal with your routers interface you have only two options; remember it or hack one of your devices to get it.

In this post, I will try to show how you can see stored wifi passwords in your android device.

It is gonna be harder then windows devices and your android device must be rooted.

I have samsung galaxy note 2 android 4.1 device and fx file explorer app in it.

All you need to do is find the right locaiton and wpa_supplicant.conf file.
/data/misc/wifi/ wpa_supplicant.conf
