Recover Wi-Fi keys stored with WiFi Recovery

Whenever we connect to a wireless network from our Android device it is stored securely in a text file within the device's own memory.

This file is protected so that without root permission we can not access it, so all applications designed to recover this information need to have superuser permissions to be able to show us the keys. One of the most complete applications to recover these keys is WiFi Recovery Plus.

The main features of this application are:

• Displays the Wi-Fi keys stored in the device.
• Backs up the device's Wi-Fi configuration and restores it.
• Copy the password to the clipboard
• Displays additional information about the networks.
• It allows to edit the configuration of them.
• Voice functions (control the application and dictate passwords)

We can download WiFi Recovery Plus completely free of charge from the Google Play Store . Once downloaded, we execute it and we will see the main window of the application.

Here we can see all the SSIDs and their corresponding passwords stored in the device. If we click on one of the networks we can see more information about them such as the SSID, the key, the encryption used and the priority that Android establishes to that network to choose one or the other to connect automatically.

If we keep pressed on any of the networks, a menu similar to the following will appear.

From this menu we can connect to a network without having to leave the application, directly copy the key to the clipboard, edit the network data or delete it from the device.

WiFI Recovery is a very simple application to use and well adapted graphically to the latest versions of Android and with which we can easily recover at any time any of the passwords of the networks to which we have previously connected.
