How to Find Your WiFi Password on Android

On Android 10 or later, open Settings → Network & internet → Internet (or Wi-Fi), tap the gear next to your network, then tap Share and confirm with your fingerprint, face or PIN. A QR code appears, and on most phones the password is written right under it. No root or app needed.

Google Pixel and stock Android

  1. Open Settings → Network & internet → Internet.
  2. Tap the gear next to the WiFi network you’re connected to. For saved networks, open Saved networks at the bottom of the list.
  3. Tap Share and verify it’s you.
  4. The QR code appears with “Wi-Fi password” written below it.

Samsung Galaxy

  1. Open Settings → Connections → Wi-Fi.
  2. Tap the gear next to your network.
  3. On recent One UI versions, tap View more if needed, then the eye icon next to Password, and verify it’s you.
  4. On older versions, tap QR code at the bottom and use the QR-code trick below to read the password.

Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO

  1. Open Settings → Wi-Fi and tap the network you’re connected to.
  2. A QR code appears with “Tap to share password” or similar.
  3. On newer HyperOS and MIUI versions the password is shown below the code; otherwise use the trick below.

Other brands (OnePlus, Oppo, Vivo, Motorola, Realme) follow one of these two patterns: look for Share or QR code in the network’s details.

The QR-code trick (any Android)

If your phone shows a QR code but not the password itself:

  1. Take a screenshot of the QR code.
  2. Open Google Lens (or the Google app’s camera icon) and select the screenshot from your gallery.
  3. Lens shows the text inside, something like WIFI:T:WPA;S:HomeNet;P:yourpassword;;. The part after P: and before the next ; is the password.

Delete the screenshot afterwards, since it contains your password.

Android 9 or older

Older versions of Android don’t show saved WiFi passwords without rooting the phone, which we don’t recommend. Instead, check the sticker on the router, or open the router’s settings and look under Wireless security. The router login finder lists the address for most brands.

Share it with someone

The QR code Android shows can be scanned straight from your screen by another phone. To print one for guests, make a high-resolution code with the WiFi QR code generator. For every option, including iPhone-to-iPhone sharing, read how to share your WiFi password.

Frequently asked questions

Can I see a WiFi password on Android without root?
Yes, on Android 10 and later, using the Share or QR code option in WiFi settings. On Android 9 and older you need the router’s settings or its sticker.
Why don’t I see a Share button?
Your phone may run Android 9 or earlier, or the network may be an enterprise network (work or school) that uses individual logins instead of a shared password.
