How To Find Password Of Wi-fi Network With Es Explorer On Android Phones by CossyErik(m): 11:42pm On Nov 08, 2015
Do you have an android phone and Es explorer? Then follow this guide to get into any previously used wifi network with your android smartphone. In this guide, I would walk you guys through the process on how to locate and view an already saved WiFi passwords in android phones. Before you get started, make sure that your android smartphone is rooted, and also make sure that you’ve ES FILE EXPLORER installed on your device. How to find and used Saved Wifi Passwords on Android 1. Firstly, move up a folder to the root folder, and in ES explorer, you would see a directory codenamed “Data”.
2. After that, go to “data/misc/wifi” folder, and locate the file name, “wpa_supplicant.conf”.

3. Now, open the file, and make use of the ES File Explorer‘s built-in text/HTML viewer to view through the text file.

4. In the file, you should see the network SSID and their passwords next to it, simply note the name and the passwords.

That’s it. You’ve successfully located the saved wifi passwords in your Android. You can now use them to flex on your other device outside androids, like laptops, iPhone or any other Wifi enabled device.

Less I forget, try not to alter anything or make any changes on the “wpa_supplicant.conf” file, to avoid wifi not working problem.
If you got any related problem regarding to this topic, feel free to let me know via comment section.

Is this applicable when the WiFi password is changed, coz I don't understand the purpose of this tweak.

It is not a tweak but just to show you passwords of wifi networks you have connected to

If it's showing me password to WiFi I've connected to, it means I know the password already or better still I might not be within the area I connected to re-use it on my laptop.

Except of course it's at home and I forgot the password to connect to my laptop if new.

Right now I don't see any reason for this.

There's no point since I'm connected already. I can always go to my settings to view the password.

Yes but this was very useful in a place I had to hand over my device for password to be entered and access granted.
Remember, android is not like windows you can easily reveal the password that you didn't input or else there a way I don't know of

I never said you were employed. I understand that you're employed under a contractor working for TakeNo. And please kindly stop telling us that you are using Phantom 5, please; do you think that TakeNo can afford to give out more units to their agents after giving out 10 units to 10 Nigeria "bloggers" in exchange for their crap "reviews" on their mushroom blogs? Abeg swerve.

this is helpful should in case the wifi owner only configured your device without releasing the passcode to you. Most organization does this by connecting the device for public users without showing them the password. More over, you will need root access to get this working

to me the post is useful. Some people got their device connected by the wiffi admin without showing them the passcode. I do this often by connecting some one device without showing them the passcode. With this you can get it and connect your other devices. So i guess you can see the usefulness.

You may say why can't i just go to my wifi connection and click show password, well, it doesn't work that way if you have already been connected to the wifi.it only works when inputting the password at first connection which normally shows as *** so if you want to see what you are typing, that is when you can use the show password instead of showing the ***, it will show you what you are typing but immediately you have been connected, it won't allow you to use that show password options, it will just show you the cancel and forget button.now you can see where this trick comes into play.
