Wifi key recovery (needs root) app for android description: you need root to use this application.
You need to have connected to the network in the past.
This app cannot hack into an unknown new network.
I cannot help you with getting root.
Have a look at forum.
Xda for that.
Have you ever forgotten the password of your home wifi network or the one you setup for your parents a few months back? This application will help you recover the password of a wireless network you have connected to with your device in the past.
You can then either tap on an entry to copy it or export the list to sd or share it using the standard android sharing facilities.
It does not crack the network or use the mac ssid address to deduce the password.
It simply reads it from the device itself.
Essentially it parses the wpa supplicant file.
