Wifi Passwords

in android •  8 years ago 

Why is my smartphone hiding my WiFi password from me? Does it think that I shouldn't be allowed to know my own WiFi password?

Can I at least have a choice in the matter? I've been using android for like 6 years or so, and I've never been hacked. Not once.
However, i have been wanting to know my WiFi password multiple times.
I know I should write it down somewhere, and then I have to remember where I wrote it down, and then I have to write down where I wrote it down, etc...

If I would get hacked, now someone will know my wifi password? so what? That someone might not even be in the same country.

Anyway, I can see the security concerns. And that's up to you. Just allow me to store mine how I want, ok?

      Thank you, but that does not work.

      The link you provided has a non-root non-working method. Maybe it worked for older androids.
      And then it has a root-method, and I don't have root.

        Balls. I'm sorry, I didn't verify the non root method and now I have re-looked and it seems it is only for rooted phones. It seems silly they have it done this way.
