Features & Capabilities

WiFi Key Recovery is a specialized Chrome extension designed for rooted Android devices to help you recover WiFi passwords for networks you have connected to in the past. This extension does not hack into new or unknown networks — it simply extracts saved WiFi keys directly from your device's configuration files.

With WiFi Key Recovery, you can conveniently view all stored WiFi passwords, copy them, export the list, or share using standard sharing features. The tool parses the wpa_supplicant file securely without third-party ads. Tested on various devices like HTC Desire Z, Samsung Galaxy Tab, and others, it is a reliable solution for retrieving forgotten wireless passwords when you have root access. Please note that root access is required and this app cannot provide root itself. For rooting instructions, visit trusted forums such as XDA Developers.

User Reviews

Overall, user feedback is largely negative. The app frequently fails to start or run, with multiple reports of non-function on Android 9–12 and devices such as the Pixel 4a 5G. Several reviewers label it useless or a scam. A small number express positive sentiment like Good or Nice, but reliability and compatibility are major concerns. Reports also suggest root access is required for functionality and that recovered outputs (e.g., hex strings) may be incorrect or irrelevant on some devices.

Pros

Good
Nice

Cons

Does not work or won't start on many devices and Android versions (Android 9-12; Pixel 4a 5G)
Repeatedly described as useless or a scam
