It is useful to be able to see the passwords of your saved WiFi networks. Maybe you forgot your password, or maybe it’s a long base64 string that can’t be remembered on purpose. Being able to see your saved WiFi passwords saves you from having to remember to write them down somewhere and still keeps them close to you.
While some Android skins, like Pixel UI and One UI, have ways to share saved WiFi networks with other devices, they aren’t perfect.
First, the device you’re sharing with must support scanning a QR code to connect to a WiFi network.
The generated QR code contains the network password in clear text, but to get it you need to scan the QR code with a different device or screenshot and scan it locally, then extract the text. And this must be done by network.
On Pixel UI 13, the password is shown directly in the clear below the QR code, but it’s still one process per network.
