How to see the password of WiFi networks saved in Android (ROOT)

Where we go, we stay connected to WiFi networks to save data of our plan. On our mobile we have endless WiFi networks saved and sometimes we need to see what passwords there are. However, in Android is almost impossible to see them, since passwords are stored unencrypted by default, inside the device. But the file is blocked from access to all users other than rootTherefore we must have un super-users permission on the mobile device, to see all the keys.

Surely you already know that whenever we connect to a network from any Android, the password is stored in the system to avoid entering it again. There are several applications that allow us view network passwords that we have saved on our device, but all of them will need superuser permissions on our mobile or tablet. But then, how to see the password of the WiFi networks saved in Android? One of the simplest apps for this and designed precisely for this purpose, is called WiFi Password.
