How do I find my Wi-Fi Direct password on Android?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

To find your Wi-Fi Direct password on an Android device, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the settings on your Android device. You can usually find the settings app in your app drawer or by swiping down from the top of the screen and tapping on the gear icon.

2. In the settings menu, scroll down and select “Network & Internet” or simply “Network” depending on your Android version. This option may also be listed as “Connections” on some devices.

3. Within the Network settings, you will find various options related to network connectivity. Look for the option called “Wi-Fi Direct” and tap on it. In some devices, it may be listed as “Wi-Fi” or “Wi-Fi & Internet.”

4. Once you are in the Wi-Fi Direct settings, you should see a list of available devices or a toggle switch to enable Wi-Fi Direct. Look for the option called “Wi-Fi Direct settings” or something similar and tap on it.

5. In the Wi-Fi Direct settings, you will find information about your device’s Wi-Fi Direct network name (SSID) and password. Tap on the option that says “Show Network (SSID)/Password” or similar wording.

6. A pop-up window or a new screen will appear, displaying the Wi-Fi Direct network name (SSID) and password for your Android device. Take note of the password as it will be required when connecting other devices to your Wi-Fi Direct network.

It’s worth mentioning that the steps may vary slightly depending on the Android version and manufacturer of your device. However, the general process should be similar across most Android devices.

If you are unable to find the Wi-Fi Direct settings or the option to show the network password, you can try searching for the specific device model and Android version online to find more precise instructions. Manufacturers often provide support documents or manuals that can guide you through the process.

In summary, to find your Wi-Fi Direct password on Android, you need to access the device settings, navigate to the Network or Network & Internet section, locate the Wi-Fi Direct settings, and then choose the option to show the network password.
