I would like to know what a mobile hotspot is. When someone uses a mobile hotspot (also known as hotspot tethering), they can connect their smartphone to a wireless local area network (WLAN) and use Wi-Fi to access the Internet. The host phone establishes Wi-Fi connections for other gadgets, like PCs, smart TVs, and other phones, using its cellular data. Your connected network requires a password for other devices to access, and setting this connection up is easy.
You must know the hotspot password in order to share your Android device’s internet connection with other devices that are in close proximity. It may not be anything you have committed to memory, so you may need to double-check it first.
How to Look Up the Password for a Hotspot on Android
Regardless of whether your Android device is running One UI or original Android, figuring out the Wi-Fi hotspot password isn’t that tough. The steps for both are as follows.
Using the Google Pixel or Stock Android, verify the hotspot password
- Launch the Settings app, pick Hotspot & tethering from the menu that appears, and then hit Network & internet.
- To access the password, tap the Wi-Fi hotspot, choose Hotspot password, then tap again.
On Samsung Galaxy phones, verify the hotspot password
- Launch the Settings application on Samsung Galaxy and select Connections. Next, choose the option for Tethering and Mobile Hotspot.
- Select Mobile Hotspot from the menu to see the Wi-Fi hotspot password.
How to Modify the Password for Hotspot on Android
From the same menu where you viewed it, you can modify the Android Wi-Fi hotspot password. How to do that is here.

How to Remove an Android Hotspot Password
Do you not want a password to be used to secure your Wi-Fi hotspot? In that case, you can quickly delete the Android device’s hotspot password. If you’d prefer not to have to input a password each time you link one of your devices to your phone’s hotspot, this might be helpful.
