A smartphone has several abilities; one of them is saving passwords for later use. For example, if you open an account from your device, it will keep the user name and password so that later when you open the app, you can access it instantly.
Now your android device not only saves your password automatically for future use but also lets you see it whenever you want. But before that, I want to tell you why you should learn “How to see your WIFI password on Android?”
Why Must You Learn the Trick?
Instead of giving you some illogical reasons, let us learn a process to save ourselves from future disasters now because we use so many accounts and passwords to use. Now due to technology, we get a terrible habit, that is, no need to remember because we all know that our smart device will remember it.
Now, if you are using someone else’s WIFI, there is no need to learn the process. But if you are using your internet connection, I bet you need that whenever you have to change your WIFI Password. Isn’t it a solid reason to remember the process?
