Do you have a smartphone in Android version 10? Viewing the Wi-Fi password for a saved network on Android is now easier! Considering the Wi-Fi password for protected networks are relatively uncomplicatedly, even without the need to utilize a rooted device. How to Share Wi-Fi Password Using QR Code on Android
For this article, we will be using Tecno Pova 2. Be aware that the procedure may appear somewhat differently on other phones that run different versions of Android; this is something you should keep in mind.
If you want to share the password for the Wi-Fi you currently use, click on the gear icon to see the network’s options.
Besides the QR Code and typing in the password by hand, there is a third way. On Android 12, a button below the QR code called “Nearby” also lets you share the password with other Android devices nearby. It works a lot like Apple’s iOS share password system. The Nearby Share feature on Android phones is used in this method, meaning the other devices must be in the same area to share.
Earlier, we mentioned that devices running Android 10 or later are required to access this feature. But what about other versions? Unfortunately, Android 9 and below do not have a way to share and find the Wi-Fi password unless the device is rooted, and this is because the saved network passwords are encrypted.
