/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
And the format is:
network={
ssid="[SSID Name]"
psk="[WPA passphrase]"
key_mgmt=[Encryption type]
priority=[XX]
}

I will provide two ways of viewing the password.
Method 1 - UI
1- Download a root browser if you don't have one. I used Root Browser Lite
2- Browse to the file location given above
3- Check how many bytes the file has... if it has 0 this method will not work
4- Click open the file with a text editor
Method 2 - Terminal
1- Open the terminal application
2- Change into root with 'su' and then cat the 'wpa_supplicant' file
su
cat /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

Note: you must have a rooted android phone for this to work.
Thanks. The command line method worked like a charm.
I have a gal Tab 10 (ver 1), rooted, and I have 11 networks configured. Wpa_supplicant.conf is not in /data/misc/wifi (the data directory is empty). The file is in system/etc/wifi, and it has header information but nothing network specific. Any ideas?
Hi Chris,
I'm not familiar with the GT 10, but you might want to try an application like this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryanamaral.wifi.passwords
Either way, I would love to hear back if you find a solution.
Cheers,
Vic.
The app you yold about for Chris, well worked for me. But where did this app retrieve these passwords?
I just wanted to see it in internal storage but the directory is empty still.
I still don't get how this works ?
mine is encrypted... how to decrypt it?
Thanks a lot for sharing this :-) The first method worked great for me.
It worked.... Perfect... Thanks...!!!
TNX good man . u r my favorit.
Sir, First method did not help me so i used second method. I used Terminal emulator and put those commands. Now where can I find the wifi passwords???
How to root?
