If you want to know what your WiFi password is because you have changed it and do not remember it or want to share it with someone, knowing this information from your mobile is very simple and it will take you less than a minute. You won’t have to move from where you are to look for it under the router or navigate through thousands of settings. Forget even writing a large number of figures and numbers to enter your connection or that of others.
This feature is very handy too if you have forgotten the WiFi password, but you can still access it because you have your devices connected automatically. If you need to connect another or someone asks you, without having the password you will not be able to share it. With this simple trick you will be able to do it without having to restart the router, reset it or change the password again because you will be able to see this data directly on your mobile.
Once you have this information, you can use it yourself or give it to the other person. you can even let it connect to your WiFi directly from your mobile. Obviously, all this without consuming your data or affecting you in any way. We are going to tell you how you can do it, but for this it is essential that your mobile is connected to the home WiFi network, since otherwise you will not have access to this information. If not, connect to WiFi and follow these simple steps.
