Free tool for WiFi management
Free Wifi Password - Connect is a free-to-use utility app from the Droid-Developer team. This Wi-Fi management tool helps you find networks, connect to them, or even discover free hotspots near you. Additionally, you can view and recover the passwords for all saved wireless networks for your device.
With an intuitive app layout, Free Wifi Password - Connect lets you view all your Wi-Fi needs all from a single location. However, be wary of its potential security risks by making all your Wi-Fi data easily accessible and visible. Other similar apps include WiFi Password Dump or WiFi Password Remover.
A useful tool for staying online
Usually, the user’s access to wireless networks—including signal strength, network names, and more importantly, passwords—usually depends on a number of factors, such as the type of mobile device and range from the source of the signal. However, Free Wifi Password - Connect fixes that by collecting and showing information otherwise ignored by your device. This means that you get to see more networks and choose from them.
Additionally, this app serves as your one-stop management portal for all your Wi-Fi networks, past and present. If you’ve successfully connected to a network, then the app stores its network name as well as its password. It keeps the passwords visible, without the use of encryption or substituting the characters with asterisks. Provided that the admins of the network don’t change passwords, you can easily reconnect.
However, the same features mean that it exposes these networks to unauthorized access, which could put users in trouble if they use regulated networks such as work-provided Wi-Fi access. Other people using the same device, or even passersby, can see the network name and passwords all in plain text from your screen. This bypasses inherent security measures regarding Wi-Fi, such as keeping passwords encrypted or outright inaccessible to the user.
All your networks in one place
If you regularly move between places and regularly change the wireless networks you use, then Free Wifi Password - Connect is a good app to have. It notes every network within range, even those that would normally be neglected or considered invalid by the device’s default systems. It makes it easy for users to also see important details. However, exposing important information could pose security risks.
