Learn Steps On How To Hack Wifi Password Without Any App Using Router Login

That was the one method to hack wifi passwords without any app. But this is another one similar to that, But in this case, you do not have a QR code. In mobile phones with new generations, we see QR codes. But in older mobile phones there was no such option. QR code is a feature that was the recent update in the new android version. But if you are using a handset older than 5 years old, There are good chances that you may not have such a feature.

And if you have tablets that are not that old, Still you won’t have the same feature because tablets, even newer ones, are running on old android versions. It could also be the case that you are using the Wifi password on your Laptop or IoT device.    No matter how you connect to the wifi, it doesn’t matter. This method will work nonetheless.

Step-1: Make sure that you are connected to the same wifi network to which you want to extract the password. If you are on a mobile internet connection, or some other wifi network this method will not work and the website will not open. You need the same connection for this process.

Step-2: Open Chrome browser or any other browser of your choice. In the previous section, we had the obligation to upload the image, That’s why I suggested you use chrome. But for this method, you can use any browser and this will work just fine.

Step-3: After you have opened the website, Paste the following links http://192.168.0.1/ or http://192.168.1.1/ into your URL bar. A lot of routers have their settings in those IPs only. If the first one doesn’t work, Then try the other one it will definitely work.

Step-4: After you have pasted the links, Either a popup window would appear from the top. Or else you would be redirected to a landing page. In both cases, You have to enter the appropriate username and password to enter into the router settings here. In most cases, the username is simply ADMIN and the password is also ADMIN. On the other hand, the username still would remain ADMIN but the password would be just PASSWORD. It is a rare occasion or until you have manually changed your own router setting this will remain the same across all routers.

Step-5: After you have successfully entered the password, You will be prompted to the new screen where you can see all the settings of the router. From here only your ISP manages your entire wifi network. Looking at the same for the first time could be very overwhelming. But sit tight and don’t touch anything that I have not to mention to you here. So be cautious with your approach and let’s crack the wifi password.

Step-6: In further, You can find the wireless settings from the header option above. And you can click on the wireless setting button. After you have clicked on the wireless all the different wireless settings would show in a vertical line on the side of your browser.

Step-7: In the given options you have to look for the ‘Wireless Security’, And once you find the same and click on it. Now once you do that you will see different options like SSID and WPA and many other strange names that you wouldn’t have heard of. You simply have to look for the name of your wifi, And you can find it just beside the SSID. And if you look a little more down you can see the Security Key, But you have to click on the key to make it visible in plain English. That’s it this was the method to hack a wifi password without using any application so far.
