Hello,
I would like to retrieve the Wi-Fi code for my Bbox. The issue is that I'm currently not at home.
My question: how can we find out the Wi-Fi code for a Bouygues box remotely, given that I have with me a laptop and an Android smartphone that have access to this Bbox with the code saved? Thank you.
Best regards,

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 97.0

    Hello,
    Thank you for your quick responses. I have noted your recommendations.
    @bazfile: my smartphone is not rooted (and I don't intend to do it). So the suggested solution is a bit risky.
    @georges97: I found the site and the password. BUT on two different Win10 PCs, when I try to download the .zip, I get an EMPTY file (0KB)!! I have indeed disabled the local firewall. Help please! Thank you.

    OOOPS! OK I see it's the browser that is blocking the download. I will proceed and keep you updated. Thank you.

    Best regards,

     my smartphone is not rooted

    I don't see the connection; this application is in the Google Play Store. You also have https://www.01net.com/astuces/comment-afficher-les-mots-de-passe-wi-fi-sauvegardes-sur-android-1970776.html. Depending on your version of Android, the screens may look different, but the principle is the same.

      Ok, follow this link. But in my Android version (8.1), in the saved Wi-Fi networks, I don't have the share option. I only have the choice between Remove or Cancel.
      Kind regards.

    Re-,
    I have successfully retrieved all the passwords for the various wireless networks I had connected to by saving the password;
    Thank you for your contributions.
    @bazfile: since I use my smartphone a lot on Wi-Fi abroad (without having my laptop), I will look into the solution you recommended to me the other day, when I decide to root my smartphone (Android) while making sure not to brick it (note: I have not been under warranty for a long time already).
    Best regards,

      There is no need to root the phone since this application is in the Play Store, you also have https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=freewifi.connection.mbhwifi still in the Play Store, I really don’t see why you’re talking about rooting your phone, which I advise against.

      Hi,
      that's what the comments on the Play Store page you provided also say...
      I just installed your latest link and when I do password show, it doesn't show root access either :-(
      So no interest then...
      I tried it with Android 10.

      During the installation, you will immediately come across a message saying that you need to root your phone.
      This made me think about rooting!
      Best regards

    As stated in my post #14, my Android version (8.1) does not offer the ability to retrieve saved Wifi passwords WITHOUT being Root, regardless of the application chosen from the PlayStore.
    All the posts visible on the internet clearly indicate that this function is only available without root starting from Android version 10.

      As mentioned above in<7>, I have Android 10 on a Huawei P20 Pro and it doesn't work either.

    Hi

    ??? What's the point if you’re not at home since you'll need to be close to the router to use it?

      Well, it could also be for someone else who is on site but has never logged in and who wouldn't have an ethernet port.
      At least that's how I understood it....
