Does anyone know of an app that would allow easy access to the password field for a tethered internet connection through a WM device?
We're trying to use the phone to access our network but we have activecards that generate a password each time you connect that needs to be entered (so not a static password - make sense?)
We've got the phone to work and connect - but it's a faff to have to go all the way through al lthe manage conenctions settings to change the password each time
WiFi Key Recovery lists all the passwords for WiFi networks you have stored on your device. Android lets you change the stored passwords for WiFi networks via the Wireless & Networks settings on the main Android menu, but you can't view the currently saved passwords. This is a pity, especially if you've forgotten a password and want to connect to the same network with another computer or device.
After you open the app, it lists the info for each stored WiFi network. You'll see the SSID, PSK or WEP key, and the security or algorithm type. It also lists login credentials for enterprise networks and you can export a text file of the details to your SD card or even share it.
Needs rooted devices for this APP
Get it from google play as well.

** You need root to use this application.
** You need to have connected to the network in the past.
** This app cannot “hack” into an unknown/new network.
Have you ever forgotten the password of your home WiFi network, or the one you setup for your parents a few months back?
This application will help you recover the password of a wireless network you have connected to with your device in the past.
You can then either tap on an entry to copy it, or export the list to SD, or share it using the standard Android sharing facilities.
It does not crack the network, or use the MAC/SSID address to deduce the password. It simply reads it from the device itself.
Essentially it parses the wpa_supplicant file
Hello everyone
I am trying to make a tasker profile to change my phone's (KitKat) wifi tether password
I found the password stored in /data/misc/hostapd.conf but changing it there does not change the password in the settings
I can set up a task to manually change it by using virtual taps etc, but i would prefer a programmatic or config solution
Here is the main question:
How to change the wifi tether password without using the settings app?
I'm not sure but I think that's not possible.

Then how do Wi-Fi hotspot apps do it? There must be a way
i know the wifi modem user id and password. i can open it. but when i open the advanced wifi security settings, there i am getting some dots in the password feild. there is no option to see the password. i want to know how to decode that password. please help me regarding this
Hello there!
As far as I know you can't really access the WiFi key in plain text without having a rooted device.
If your device is rooted then there are several free apps on the Play Store which will list your saved WiFi connections with plain text keyphrases.
Cheers.
Root: /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
I am asking to see it in the modem. Not in the mobile. When I open the advanced wifi settings in the modem confirmation settings, it is showing the dots in the text field. I want to know how to decode that password.
And also as you said, my mobile was rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I tried all the wifi password applications to know the password of the connected wifi. But none of the applications didn't work.
