I don’t think I’m the only one who can’t remember the wireless password you just entered for a network. Especially when someone else also needs it, and you’ve just thrown away the paper where it was on :)

In the GUI you can’t see the password.

So once again, open a terminal to the local system (you need root to access the file the passwords are in.

Go to the directory:

/data/misc/wifi

And then look at the contents of the wpa_supplicant.conf file.

/data/misc/wifi # cat wpa_supplicant.conf

network={ ssid=“h4x0r1337” psk=“secretpassword” key_mgmt=WPA-PSK priority=8 frequency=2412 }

So there you have it, the password :)
