You can't directly scan a Wi-Fi password on your phone. Wi-Fi passwords are encrypted, meaning they are scrambled and hidden to protect your network. While there are apps that claim to find Wi-Fi passwords, they are often scams or unreliable.
Here are some legitimate ways to find your Wi-Fi password:
- Check your router: Most routers have a sticker on the bottom or back with the default Wi-Fi password.
- Look in your router's settings: Access your router's web interface (usually by typing the router's IP address into your browser) and find the Wi-Fi settings.
- Check your internet provider's website: Some internet providers allow you to view your Wi-Fi password online.
- Check your phone's settings: Some phones store the Wi-Fi passwords you've connected to in the past.
- Look at your router's manual: The manual will often have instructions on how to find your Wi-Fi password.
If you have forgotten your Wi-Fi password and can't find it anywhere, you will need to reset your router to its factory settings. This will erase all of your custom settings, including the Wi-Fi password. You will then need to set up your router again and create a new Wi-Fi password.
Important Note: Never trust apps that claim to be able to scan Wi-Fi passwords. These apps are often scams and can put your device at risk.
